Lucky No. 7....?

Ok, so I had my surgery and everything is going ok, I guess. I got a cold the day of surgery so breathing is really hard at times, and the post nasal drip is makes me gag, which is really painful when you can't open your mouth. The swelling has stopped going down. Is it normal for it to go down a lot and then just stop?

14 hours and counting

Hello, my bloggers! I am a bit late getting my blog started. I've been reading them for awhile now and have found them very helpful. (Thanks!) It's nice to know I am not alone in this whole ordeal. My surgery is...TOMORROW! I've been waiting forever and the day is HERE!!!! I still have many questions regarding recovery, though. Like, how long until I look normal again...?
