Week 1. Feb 12-18.



Feb. 14th - I just can't figure out why I didn't have a date on this Valentine's Day...

February 15th with my "Linus" blankie.  Mom left the next day and I had to become an adult ...again (sigh).

Feb 14th again. This is what discomfort looks like.

Feb 18th ... Yellow & Purple is "the new black".  
What a hot mess.


These are photos of me taken in the first week.  Thoughts this week?  So many...
  • I can't breathe right.  This sucks.
  • I feel like crap.
  • I need more ice in this head-wrap-thing.  
  • This is like having a really bad cold...aaaaaand a broken face.
  • I need my shades...sunlight is way too bright all of a sudden.
  • Where is the Otrivin?  And why is it not working? 
  • I would pay a gajillion dollars to blow my nose right now.
  • I'm supposed to sleep sitting up?  No problem....I'm so tired.
  • I don't need food anymore.  I'm "above" it now.  I'm so zen. 
  • I love T.V.
  • I love this la-z-boy.  LOVE it.  I shall live here for awhile.  Leave me be.
  • Why is everyone talking to me and expecting me to answer?  PASS THE PEN & PAPER, FOLKS...LOOK ALIVE.
  • Neat, I drool now.  
  • I have to take this towel with me everywhere.  I feel like Linus from "Peanuts". 
  • Neat, my face feels like there's a big pile of rocks glued on top of it.  
  • Where's the codeine?  Has it been 4 hours yet?
  • Where's the cherry decongestant?  Why are you trying to kill me with Buckleys, mom?  (true story - I thought I was going to die of menthol fumes).
  • Can you fill up the humidifier again please?
  • Look at that, my nose bled all over my pillow while I slept.  
  • Thanks for cleaning that up, mom.
  • Thanks for getting me that mom - and that - and that - and that too.  I appreciate that.
  • I'm so glad my mom is here.
  • Why is my cat totally ignoring me?
  • I like Ensure...I really like it.
  • This syringe sucks.  Ha ha ha.
  • I couldn't even read right now if I had to, that's how tired I am.
  • This can't possibly ever get better.  This is just brutal.  No way is this getting better.
  • Why is every day the same as the last one?  Why isn't it getting better?  
  • I have a sneaking suspicion that people who had one jaw done are recovering much faster than me...
  • I am SO glad I made sure to ask Surgery man if I could use my waterpic on the lowest setting.  It's awesome.
