9:00 AM
The swelling in my cheeks seems to go down by a fraction every day and I get more feeling back every day too, though when I first wake up a I am always puffier than when I went to bed; but throughout the day it goes down the more I move and the left side of my face is starting to wake up today too. I credit that to the hot compress, Grammy was kind enough to buy me a heating pad that wraps around my face and it really seems to help.
I have these two spots on the inside of my lip that are blistered really badly from when the swelling made my lips press really hard against my braces and I am out of wax so will be stopping by the orthodontist tomorrow to get some and to make an appointment to learn how to put on and take off the bands on my braces. The blister doesn't hurt because my lips are still really numb but its huge on my bottom lip so I think that is making the swelling worse.
Today at the grocery store I ran into two kids I used to babysit and it was so weird trying to smile and look friendly when I can't move my cheeks or lips that much. I really miss having a full range of facial expressions instead of just the one that is some type of combination between resting bitch face and disappointed death glare. On the bright side I feel like I understand Kristin Stewart on a deeper level. I just have to accept that I am going to be like this for a good long time and hopefully time will speed up a little for me.
Walking around the grocery store for an hour really wiped me out though so I think I need to start building my endurance to go back to school this week because on Wednesdays I am literally in class from 8:00am to 9:00pm. But today I think I will just take a nap. Or watch a few movies starring my new spirit animal, Kristin Stewart.
