What beautiful swelling... My cheeks are so tight today that I can't move my lips (which feel like swollen sausages). In the picture I look like a deer in the headlights, but it's just that my face is so swollen, there's no room for any expression. I've tried to swallow some sips of water, but I can feel the bones in my face moving which is not comfortable. I tried to explain to my husband that my face feels "springloaded" like a mousetrap. With every swallow, I can feel my nose, teeth, and palate move. I have to "gear up" for every swallow, which pretty much takes the enjoyment out of it. Also, because my lips won't close, I can't swallow my spit (which seems to be in overdrive), so it just sort of drools out and I catch it in a rag. I'm trying to at least get some Motrin in and take my Keflex (the antibiotic prescribed by my OS). The good part of it is that the pain really isn't too bad! I'm pretty much writing everything on a pad of paper because I can't speak at all. Hopefully this is all normal stuff...
