Stocking Up

On my last post I titled it "Post Op Rush" but I meant Pre-Op. I was really tired, sorry. I haven't had my surgery yet, just to make that clear. Dr. Franco told me to start taking Arnica pills today. You can buy them at whole foods. They are for muscle pain, bruising and swelling. He also told me to buy Calendula cream. I suppose I'll use that on my face after surgery instead of my regular face cream. I also bought about $80 worth of pureed soups by Pacific. I like that brand because they're low in sugar. I don't want to be lying around in bed for a month drinking sugar. They also have low sodium options for a lot of their soups. Sodium is bad for swelling so we don't want that. Finally, I ordered a bag of collagen in powder form--it's good for healing bones and hair. Dr. Franco said some of my hair might fall out! I'll put that in my drinks. Whey Protein is good for shakes but is has a vanilla flavor so it's not good for everything. That's it for today! Have a great day!

  1. I am reading this as I stumbled across this blog while researching for the 200th time whether I should take the plunge and have the double jaw surgery. I'm terrified. You are very funny and a good writer. I'm surprised there are no other comments on here! Thank you for doing this. :)
