Day 1 - 3

Straight after surgery, I didn't feel too bad.. I could talk and seemed to be eating alright (what liquid diet?!). Then once I was home ad after my first sleep, it all seemed to go downhill. 

One of the doctors had mentioned that swelling will get worse but I didn't want to believe him. It got a lot worse. The swelling and numbness is from my lower eyelids and goes all the way down to where my collarbone is and there is painful areas within that space too! My nose is constantly blocked because of the frequent nosebleeds and I wake up every hour or so needin a drink of water because my throat and mouth is so dry. 

My diet has mainly consisted of water and protein shakes but yesterday I had soup and today I'm trying scrambled egg (very very scrambled). All I want to do is sleep... I bet my mum feels like she has a baby again! I am currently eating using a syringe which is weird at first but I'm getting used to it! 

I'm trying to talk but it's just coming out like gibberish... So I've been using a whiteboard to communicate with. Everyone in the house has been so helpful and understanding, so thank you! Here are a few more photos:
