Well it's about noon on Day 3 after surgery (upper, lower, genio). I came home from the hospital last night after my surgeon came by to check things out. He seemed pleased

Right now I have a KILLER sore throat which is making drinking very very painful. I don't know why, and the painkillers don't help it...did anyone else have this? It's my biggest worry at the moment.

I am very, very swollen- Ill put pics up soon. The pain apart from my throat is managable.
My mouth is not wired or banded or elasticed or anyyything which feels quite strange because I'm not sure how to place it or move it- but I imagine this is better than having it shut.
I am on the liquid diet for 6 weeks.
That's about all I can think of for now. This is definately a mental struggle because already on Day 3, I am so frusterated with feeling this way and just want all the discomfort go away. I want to sleep on my side!!
Thanks for all the support from everyone. You're all awesome! I have a lot of respect for everyone whose gone through this!
