Hello, quick update.

I am two days since surgery, I have no one really to help me out, so I am taking it slow, hard to get ice, I wonder how long should I keep icing the jaw. I was also relieved to go the bathroom for number 2 today. Felt constipated. Still feeling woozy. I can't really eat anything, I can barely get clear liquids in, I have stopped any pain medication and strictly taking antibiotic, I am quite swelled up now. Trying to drink Ensure but feel like vomiting. This is agony.

I finally slept well today, just feel woozy, lost about 7 pounds already, still I cant even get cream through the straw, as there is no space around my back teeth to get it down using the syringe method, so I am forced to use the gap between my front teeth to drink clear liquids but doesn't work well with creamy soups. I tried lot of fruit drinks and got a sugar high :) Now I feel sick to the stomach. Can Never Win, I still have two and half weeks to get the splint off. It would have been nice If I would have more of a gap on the back of my molars to get the drinks down using the syringe.
