Day 11 - 2 weeks until we go home

It was a rainy Sunday in Virginia. Luckily, it was a good day to rest. I thought this was going to be a boring post, but as usual, there is never a dull moment in my life. While we were Skyping with Daddy, Jeffrey smacked me in the face. I yelled and dropped him off my lap. He left crying...I was crying....my dad came running.....Russ jumped up of the sofa in Rhode Island. Quite the drama. Never fear, I am fine. He didn't hit me nearly as hard as I thought he did at the time. We kissed and made up and everything is fine.

In other news, I have feeling from my lip and up on the left side of my face! Still a little tingly on the lower left, but it's getting better. The right side is a WHOLE different story. It is still pretty swollen and it feels very tingly from my nose up to my eye socket and down to my chin. It's on the list to discuss with the doctor. Luckily, the crazy sinus pressure is gone. Now it's just swelling pressure. Just a little uncomfortable sometimes, but not enough to need medicine.

I am eating better and I am feeling better. (Coincidence??) I still get very dizzy sometimes, especially in the afternoons. Also on the list to talk to the doctor about. There are some others.

Questions I have for the Doctor at 2 weeks past surgery:
1. How much longer do I have to sleep on my back? (It's uncomfortable and I sleep better on my side)
2. Why am I still so swollen and tingly on the right? Is there anything else I should be doing?
3. Why am I so dizzy in the afternoons? I get dizzy when I have the baby and am looking up at him. I am dizzy when I stand up too fast. I am dizzy when I put my head on the pillows at night.
4. Could I get some new tubing and new syringes so I can eat?
5. I know how to put in elastics. If I pop another one, should I just put a new one in?
6. Am I on track to go home next week?

So, that's where we are. I am spending the evening looking for delicious soup recipes on Pinterest. There is only so much chicken broth a girl can eat. Since I can't find a potato soup that makes me happy, I am exploring other options.
