As I promised, I am continuing the 'photo op', 'post op'. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks post surgery and I'm starting to feel back to normal, well at least 80%. I'm able to use some makeup to cover most of the blob-like bruises that remain greenish yellow under my eyes and on my cheeks and dark eye shadow is all I need to cover my purple eye lids. The only catch, I still can't smile. My mouth/mainly upper lip is completely numb and somewhat 'stuck'. I look like a total Emo . I'm trying to avoid all funny conversations for fear that I might expose my incredibly awkward half moon grin-- and have resorted to asking boring questions like 'oh, I heard your son got braces, how is he deal with that'. My nosey cubical neighbor who spends most of her morning, gnarling on weight watchers rice cakes, continues to be...well super nosey. I'm sure we've all experienced the nosey cubical neighbor, but this one has got to be on the top ten worst list. The minute I returned to work yesterday, she made a bee-line to my cube-ie, and threw out some excuse to ask about my battered face, 'oh, you've been out for awhile, and you look puffy, are you suffering from a cold'. NO, I wanted to yell then lie and say I got in a really great bar fight just to watch her dramatic reaction- but I saved the energy and just told her that I had sinus surgery. She of course, proceeded to tell me that she, too, has had sinus surgery and made me re-live the nauseam of the entire event. What are the odds.
If I haven't addressed my nosey neighbor yet in my blog, I'm not sure why. She has continued to surprise me almost daily with questions like "Oh, I overheard you say you're parents were in Jamicia" or "So sorry to hear that you have IBS, do you take anything for that?" ....REALLY LADY? I can no longer take any personal phone call from my desk phone, for fear of her bat-like ears listening in on my entire conversations. The worst part is she's a snitch, and always has that weird look of enjoyment on her face as she watches me squirm as I answer her insane questions. But for today, enough about Rice Cake lady-
Here's the pictures, my mouth/upperlip & nose are still swollen: (by the way I'm starting to feel weird taking pictures of myself, and this may be the last photo op until I am completely healed and someone else will agree joining me in a photo)
We've got some pretty awesome plans for the upcoming weekend. Our friends Amy & Toby are driving in from NYC to spend the weekend in CT with us. Agenda: Apple Picking, the fair, Italian food, Wineries, and Mohegan Sun Casino. It's gonna be a good time! And hopefully pictures from the weekend to come!I hope everyone who stops by my bloggity blog has a fabulous week.
Objective this month- to avoid the Swine Flu, we'll see how that goes!
Lookin' Good, Missy!!! :)
