so it's been approximately 2.5 days since the operation, and for the most part i am fully functional. i played guitar and sang for awhile today, the first time since monday morning. my mouth is still a little stiff. probably just from swelling a little bit, but really it's hardly detectable.

i think i have officially weened myself off of the prescribed painkillers today. which is a good thing. yesterday morning i took two instead of one and 10 minutes after i had downed the pill i started to black out. that was exciting. i've never fainted before. i was knocked out for most of the day and was noticing last night that i was growing very sensitive to loud and high pitched noises. my mom and i went to starbucks last night for a drink and i was standing next to the bar and the sound from the milk steamer was enough to make me want to beat my head against the counter. weird. i think i'm doing okay now though. more alert than yesterday. and i can look at a computer screen longer than five minutes without wanting to throw up. that's good news i think. okay so i'm done with the update. i wish i could be funny but i need more tylenol.
