This post may not be as long as usual, I posted a good one this morning (for day 7) and not much has changed!

Swellings down more!
Bruising is less neon like!
My appetite is back in full swing! This morning I had a Boost for breakfast, some gelato (coconut & hazelnut chocolate) for an afternoon snack, a bowl of that delicious hearty soup I mentioned in my last post and then a Strawberry/Cranberry/Milk/Vega smoothie for dinner.
My friend Amanda came to visit me today! She kind of freaked out when she saw me and told me how different I was already looking (yey!!!). The other day she made up a nickname for me, which is the name of my post today - Chipmunchkin (Chipmunk & Munchkin)... I thought it was cute. We had a great time eating that scrumptious gelato I just mentioned. We also then went for a long walk (probably 1.5 hours). It was so beautiful outside, we couldn't stay in! I was pretty tired when we got back to my place, so I've just been relaxing since.
I've been trying to exercise my mouth muscles a lot to get them moving. Making really strange facing to stretch out everything and try to get full function back... it's taking A LOT of time, especially since I'm still about 50% swollen in my cheeks/mouth area. If you look at my smiling photo though I can smile a bit bigger now!
That's all for today :)
I hope everyone is having a fabulous Saturday night!

ReplyDeleteHi Alexis!
ReplyDeleteYour smile is so wonderful! The swelling is really going down fast! My wife really likes that gelato too, but I can't seem to take a liking to; although if I had only had clear liquid like you I am sure it would be just amazing!
I hope everyting continues to go well for you!
Regards,
Brent
You look great!
