Bleh, I feel crappy this morning. My head is thick and my jaw hurts and bleh.
I've discovered that hot foods are bad and cold foods are good. Really, really good. As of last night, hot foods made me want to gag. I don't want to spend the rest of my life eating ice cream, however, no matter how good it feels.
I took my last dose of the steroid today. The swollen spot on my jaw is better but not gone, and I keep accidentally bumping it or leaning on it or whatever.
I think my jaw is opening up to about 75% of its usual range at the moment. Can't wait until that goes back to normal. Trying to stretch it pulls on my stitches, though, so I'm not pushing it for the moment.
Speaking of the stitches, they're the dissolving kind. Once in a while I get this really bad taste in my mouth that I swear is from them dissolving. Guh. Meanwhile, the ends of them annoy me because they feel like popcorn kernels.
And that is me after three days.
