Post Surgery: Day 4

(Day 4)

I woke up at 7.30am, to prepare for my appointment scheduled at 10am. Breakfast was the same as the past 3 days and still struggling to use the syringe, I even attempted to drink using a straw but it failed miserably.

After over 30 minutes of travelling, I finally arrived at the National Dental Centre to see Dr. Danny. The waiting time was less than 10 minutes, first he removed the bandages around my chin (like finally!), removed the rubber bands around my teeth and proceeded to clean them. I then proceeded for an X-ray and once again he was pleased with the result, to the point saying that I'm one of his best patients due to the expected speedy recovery. Lastly, he put on 2 rubber bands (one of each side) and all was done and the next appointment with him will be on Friday. 

Finally I was able to speak much clearer and the freedom of opening my jaws a little, I could even eat more varieties of liquid diet. The first thing I ate other than ensure milk was soya beancurd (tao huay) from Mr. Bean for dessert, as there wasn't anything prepared for lunch I had a can of vanilla ensure milk followed with a few scoops of ice cream with chocolate fudge (yummy!). Dinner was better as mum was home to cook those tiny letter pasta with chicken soup, boy did the sense of some sanity return. We then headed to the nearby supermarket to stock up on more liquid diets such as soup, horlicks and oatmeals for my meals the next few days.

It was definitely a sense of relief to be out of the syringe, ensure milks and using spoons and straws once again. Though my face is still puffy, it will eventually die down slowly within the next few days as told by my surgeon. It was also great to take my medication in tablet form as...  
IT TASTED HORRIBLE WHEN CRUSHED!!!
