Here it is…4am on Monday morning. My dear dear laptop hath passed away RIP. I am waiting til my next dose…which makes me feel like a junkie until I realise 1. a junkie wouldn’t wait and 2. I am in PAIN!
I wonder if Dr. Li is going to refill my prescription. I sure hope so. I have been good about administering but when it hurts…man it hurts. I feel like someone split my lip open to the bone in the chin…oh wait, they did. And my ears seem to be affected somehow by this whole thing. I have to ask about that. I have to plug my ears before I swallow to help prevent some of the pain. I don’t know if it actually prevents any pain, but at least I’m distracted because my fingers are in my ears and I am trying to swallow? Who knows. It still hurts. But yes, less than a few days ago. I am, in fact, on the mend.
My friend Duncan said I am probably not getting enough protein with my 1 ensure a day, so recommended I order this stuff he says is NOT chalky…so either it’s not chalky and I get more protein, or he just inherited another container of it
On the upside…or is it downside? I have lost about 8 lbs. Of course the day I actually EAT something 1/2 of that will come back, but I’m still pretty happy. Go surgery diet!
Ugh I have a feeling Dr. Li is going to make me open my mouth. That will suck. I really cannot move my lower lip much without horrible pain.
Okay I’m done complaining. I will now return to my lump on the chaise lounge. Bye bye.
PS My car Rira snores. Should I worry?Â
Hi Shelby:
Welcome to the other side…sorry this recovery is filled with bad assed pain. This totally sucks!!! I hope Dr.Li extends your pain meds. What a fricking ordeal!!!!
Will keep my fingers and toes crossed that this latest surgery will free from apnea bondage for good. I cannot think of anyone more deserving than you. Take good care, and keep the group posted on how you are coming along.

Aw thanks Muki. I appreciate your words very very much. Dr. Li did extend the meds and said I would be turning a corner soon…which ended up being today because my pain is much lower…except the swallowing…still a 7/10 But jaw/chin feels better for sure! Again, thanks for writing.
