Yesterday was a crazy day where I was on the go all day long. Luckily my jaw hasn't bothered me too much and I have been able to deal with the pain with just taking over the counter ibuprofen. I can definitely tell when it is starting to wear off though! Today I am trying to cut back even on that but I am not quite ready to go off of it completely. The first few hours after my surgery it took a while to get the bleeding to stop. I kept the gauze in from the surgeon's office for about an hour and then took it out and it started bleeding again so I had to put some more in. I kept checking it and I thought I was doing good and then I would feel it starting to bleed again. Keeping the gauze in was a pain though! It finally stopped bleeding right before I went to bed. I'm wondering if the Avastin helped contribute to the bleeding.
I am still not able to eat too much - just mostly soft things - which sometimes are not very filling!
