Day 8

So today has been relatively uneventful, although I've gotten into a bit of a schedule now. I wake up around 7 in the morning in really bad pain, because the pain meds don't last overnight. I then take oxycodone, tylenol, paxil, and amoxicillin. After about 2 hours the oxy has me passed out, and in another 2 hours I repeat the process! So I am basically on a baby sleep schedule, hahaha.

The swelling hasn't changed much, although I can feel my lips a bit more now. My lips are both very swollen, so I can't close my mouth as of yet. This has led to some problems with a desert mouth! I can finally drink water from a bottle, but I have a tendency to choke and dribble everywhere. I feel like I've reverted back to infancy. My nose is also still swollen shut, so I'm having trouble breathing.
 The biggest annoyance right now, besides not eating, is this oily feeling on my face. Imagine covering your face in really thick peanut butter, and not being able to wipe it off. This feeling is maddening. I'm not sure if it's the nerves or what, but I am going crazy.
