It's Friday. The end of the week, and surprisingly it actually feels like Saturday to me. The worst is over I guess, but the pain is still present. Luckily I can take panadol to make it go away - but it's still hard to chew/swallow/eat anything so I am incredibly hungry. My tummy keeps growling, and I keep telling it that I want to feed it, but it hurts to eat. I'm really tired and I feel light-headed, that could be due to the large dose of antibiotics and the fact I'm not eating. Yes, thats probably it.
I am really tired right now. I tried just then to have a bit of a nap in the chair, and look its already around 3pm. Apparently within 1-2 weeks patients are able to use their mouth properly again. One week will be up on Monday! I can't wait till then, maybe I'll miraculously be able to use my mouth again. On Tuesday I have an appointment with my surgeon, who is going to check on my progress. I don't know if I have disolvable stitches or ones that need to be taken out, I wonder if I'll have to have stitches taken out of my mouth. Ouch. I really hope they went for the disolvable kind.
All in all, if I keep making progress I think I should be back at school on Wednesday or Thursday. I can't wait till I can eat again. I dream about food. Crunchy food. Like carrot. And chicken. And chewy food. And munchy food.
