Day 3 post opp

I had read online that the 3rd day after surgery is the worst day, and i found this to be true! I woke up on Thursday 30th June feeling very sick and in pain! I came down at about 6am to take some more tablets and then went back to bed. Didnt sleep because i felt so sick!

When it came to eating breakfast i didnt really think i could stomach it! I managed to drink half a cup of tea and a small amount of ready brek! This seemed to help the sicky feeling but it didnt really go away all day!

My boyfriend came over for a few hours and we sat watching tele together which was lovely! We also went for a small walk around the block just to get out of the house! I didnt find this hard and it was nice to get some fresh air! For lunch i had some rice pudding!

My pain subsided once i had taken my medication and after that my day was pretty much like yesterday! I watched movies and had a small nap in the afternoon. I managed to eat an omelette for tea which was nice and i had a chocolate mouse for desert. I didnt managed to drink my protein shakes today. I couldn't stomach it! They are too sickly when you are feeling sick!

I went to see my cousin briefly to get a heat pack to help with swelling which was nice and then i went to Tesco with my dad just to get out and about! Then i went to bed at about 11pm again with the heat pack on my jaw which felt lovely and soothing!

So at the start of the day my pain etc would have been:

Pain 6/10
Comfort/swelling 6/10
Tiredness 6/10

But by the end of the day:

Pain 2/10
Comfort/swelling 4/10
Tiredness 5/10

I managed to sleep! Which was a relief! I bled a little bit today but nothing major. Now on to day 4 post opp! (didnt take a photo today as it was pretty much like yesterday!)
