Post Day 3 – The Grinch

PostDay3.jpg grinch.jpg

Hmmmm …. it’s such a sad state on the life of Michael Jackson when I can honestly say I’m so much happier finding myself today looking more like Jim Carey’s character from The Grinch instead of The King of Pop … Wild, huh ?? Maybe I have a future in the movies … 🙂

Word of Today … headache. I’ve felt a numbing headache the entire day. Possibly my own fault, as I’ve cut in half my Vicodin intake … I’m just not much of a fan of prescription meds … anyways …

The swelling around my eyes has reduced, though it’s so moved down to the lower part of my face. I look even more goofy than normal with the swelling now at my cheeks and mouth. Jinkies ! Can you say wide-jawed chipmunk ?? Oh well … I think it’s just temporary.

I can’t tell if I’m fighting a cold or if it’s just the nasal congestion associated with my nasal renewal project, but I’m still leaking disgusting fluids of various sorts, mainly some clotted blood and snotty-type stuff, though on the positive side, it has decreased substantially.

Stomach still is very uncomfortable. I’m going to equate waist-line liposuction to doing 8,391 non-stop sit-ups. I can’t believe how much it hurts, but like the swelling, it has reduced some. Mainly … the dweeby girdle, foam pad set-up I have to wear is the source of a fair amount of my waistline complaints. I have to wear the girdle for several weeks … the constraining belt and pads I have to wear until Sunday, when I can stop wearing them and only use them when I’m at home.

I’m also a bit antsy today because I get the head bandages off later … and that’ll resolve two big issues for me … one, what do I sorta, kinda look like and two, will a shower after three days of being icky feel as good as I imagine it will.

Appetite … oddly it’s reduced even further. I’m simply not interested in eating. I’ve forced myself to eat a few things … two bowls of soup specifically, a bit of a ham sandwich and some jello … but food just isn’t as attractive to me as it normally is, despite kinda feeling pangs of hunger.

Energy level … I had a bit more energy than the day before, but oddly … I found today when I ran out of energy … it hit fast and hard. I could be talking one minute and then the next, I’d be like … I have to go to sleep … and I’d totally crash within moments.

Emotional status … pretty much whatever. I’ve got a sense of anticipatioooon to see how my forehead turns out, but other than that, I’m mainly just waiting to recover.

I know … kinda a boring update. I’ll try to liven them up later. 🙂
