Yes. This was me. In my Pre-surgery glory and nervous silliness. Feel free to let out a chuckle.
Day 1: This was when I came home. The thumbs up is a lie people. Don't believe everything you see! Oh and those are my ice packs, which may look dorky, but they sure do feel good!
Day 2: The swelling got bigger and bigger from this point and I couldn't even smile! The mark on the left side of my mouth in the picture is a battle wound. Not sure what happened there...
Day 5: Swelling is going down and I got a regular t-shirt over my head yay!
Day 6: The next morning! You can see yellow-ish bruising now (there is bad bruising under my chin - not pictured). My chin and bottom lip are still numb and I often feel tingles throughout. BUT swelling has gone down a lot and it is becoming easier to talk and smile. : )Well, that's all for now. I will be unwired June 16th, if everything looks good. I am desperately looking forward to spaghetti or something! I have lost 6 lbs in 5 days, which is not a good thing, but I'm working on eating more. Now that I'm healing and learning how to get food in me, it will be easier. Thanks for all your well wishes!

You're so brave for posting! My dad wouldn't let anyone take any pictures of me when I had my wisdom teeth out because he said it's something I would never want to remember. He was right! But it looks like your swelling is getting better each day! Hooray!
Gee. I've been posting about my diet- should've tried yours!
BTW- you look great!
It did take a lot of guts to post it. Actually, I'm still self concious about it.... haha. But Thank you I'm so glad its getting back to normal!
