Hey guys
Most of you have tabs on my life, but for those that don't, I thought I should point out that I actually made it through surgery (Yay).
Most of everything went off without a hitch...well..most. I came out of surgery in a great deal of physical and mental shock, brought on by the general anaesthetic and it's adverse effect with my medication. As a result, I was kept in ICU for close to 4-6 hours post-op due to an unusually high heart rate and continuing to throw up clotted blood, but most of it subsided by midnight.
As of now, I can't feel my lower lip, or open my mouth anymore than to fit a teaspoon in. I can't eat or chew, or do anything at the moment. I'm surviving off liquid foods, and I'm hoping to god that won't kill me.
I'm in no physical pain per se. The numbing feeling around my mouth is more annoying than painful. I'm on a course of antibiotics and ibuprofen, as well as yoghurts, baby formula and soups.
I'll pull through this, but my god...you have no idea how much I want a slice of pizza right now...or a chocolate muffin...

So when you talk do you sound like you have a ball gag in your mouth or does the muscles work properly?
