Rachel is now 6 Days Post Op.
Last night was her best night yet. She slept through the night. Still sleeping in the recliner, in an upright position to keep the swelling down. She's not been sleeping well the last several nights, and I was willing to try anything, and then it came to me to try some lavender oil and that worked!!! It's amazing how much better you feel when you get a good night's sleep.
We had our first Post Op Appointment with Dr. Martin this morning and she's doing really well! Dr. Martin said she's actually ahead of the game and is farther along than most patients. He wasn't too impressed with her swelling, apparently it can get pretty bad. He looked inside her mouth and at her bite into the splint. Everything was great. He answered my list of questions and they took pictures and we return for another appointment next week.
Rachel's very self conscious about how swollen her face is, so she wore a mask into the doctors office, and a the grocery store on our way home. It's one thing to post and share pictures on her blog, but another to be out in public and have people possibly stare at you.
