1. My face looks huge because of the large biobond on my square jaw .. Even when I dress nicely and put on makeup, my face is so swollen that my balance is ruined.. That's all I can see.. This swelling just won't go down and it's the same as yesterday, today, and tomorrow. But compared to a week ago, it's gone down a little bit.. I think I need to wait two or three months..
2. No feeling in my lower lip, or my chin. Whenever I eat, if my boyfriend gives me rice with starch on it and puts a lot of sauce on it, I don't even realize it and I eat it. ㅠㅠ I get dizzy when I look in the mirror after eating, and when I sleep, I can't feel my lower lip and my lower jaw is swollen and tight, so I sleep with my mouth open like a hippopotamus... I originally wanted to keep my mouth shut ㅠㅠ
3. The dissolving thread in my mouth is so uncomfortable.. I just want to pull it out, it's so tattered ㅠㅠ Next time I go to the hospital, if there's any left, I should ask them to pull it out, even considering that it's a dissolving thread..
4. Even if I eat just one spoonful of rice, it gets stuck everywhere. It's stuck between my gums and teeth, on my cheeks and lips, so it's stuffy. My lower respiratory muscles are stiff, so I can't pull it out with my tongue. I have to pull it out with a sterile cotton swab or gargle with water to get all the food out.
5. I can't smile. I have to laugh even when talking to people or watching variety shows .. This is surprisingly really hard . 6. Similar to number 5, my pronunciation is slurred and awkward, so I look like I lack people. ㅠ Not only my pronunciation, but my lower lip doesn't move when I speak, so I look really weird.. I absolutely want to tell office workers in service or other professions that require a lot of talking to take a month to a month and a half off, and I've heard that there are many cases where people don't recover even within a month.
7. I'm staying home on a nice spring day.. The thought that I'd recover to some extent in two weeks was a complete misjudgment.. Well, I have to go out, but even when I do, my mouth doesn't open wide, so I can't even dream of eating delicious food. Even if I dress up nicely, the swelling makes me look uglier than before the surgery, so I'm not excited. ㅠㅠ
8. I still can't brush my teeth thoroughly. I brush the inside thoroughly, but I can't touch the outside where the stitches were sewn, so I'm scared.
9. This really bothers me, but my lower gums and teeth roots feel pinched and numb. I feel that way almost 24 hours a day. Man.. I don't really care about pain, but someone keeps squeezing my gums so hard that I feel numb and it hurts.
