It's Been a Week Since Surgery...

Hey friends, today makes 1 whole week since my surgery date.  It's really going by pretty fast.  My swelling is finally starting to go down a bit.  The left side of my face has seemed to be more swollen than the right side and my nose and lips still feel huge!  I'm still having to apply heat compresses to my face everyday to keep the circulation going like it should.  From right underneath my eyes to the bottom of my chin, I still can't feel a thing.  That has been the most aggravating part.  I've been taking it easy at home and resting.  I'm still not able to get a spoon in my mouth so I'm still having to eat soup or my Visalus protein shakes through a syringe.  Yes, I'm sick of soup already!  I want some real food some kind of bad!  My husband and my mom have been the best thru all this.  I finally got out of the house tonight for the first time since I came home from the hospital.  I rode to the grocery store with my husband and sat in the car while he ran in to pick up a few things.  We were gone maybe 30 minutes, but by the time I got home, I was worn out.  The doc told me I would be very tired-feeling for a while.  It did feel good to get out for a few minutes though.  Here's my post-op picture for 1 week.....hope you all are doing well! God Bless!!
