Day 5

I woke up today round 3:30am, and have been dozing on and off since then. By dozing I mean completely passing out. I don't think pain meds are helping me stay awake. I am now on tylenol, paxil, oxy, and just stopped hydroxyzine. I am still in icu, but I will be moved to a room on jaw specialty floor later today. Sorry again if this post makes no sense, I am having trouble getting my eyes to focus. Because of the epic bruising these last 4 days were mostly a blur, and I'm just starting to wake up. I still have a major panda face, which is why I'm still in icu 5 days post op. The surgeon is not sure why there was so much bruising, because they only put tape on my eyes. I learned the moved my lower jaw forward 13mm, the upper to match, and my chin an extra .9mm. I am excited to see what I'll look like when this swelling is gone.

So far this 1 or 2 night stay is up to 5 nights,  so we will see how much longer I'll be here. I wish my lip swelling would go down so I could close them.
