Thursday and Friday Week 2

Steph has been doing so well the past couple of days. She is still pretty dizzy when she walks around but she gets some relief when she is sitting down and doesn't move her head. She washed her hair for the first time on Thursday. We just made sure to not scrub close to the incision and just let the soapy water run over it.
We just We went to the store for the first time and Steph was worried about getting dressed. I told her she wouldn't be the only one in her PJs but she refused and got into jeans and boots. We counted 7 people in PJs in the 30 minutes that we were there.
Her face continues to get a little less controlled. The right side eye lid won't close all the way and her smile is just a little bit off. She won't let me post a picture of her face, she said she looks to crazy without makeup and her hair done.
She has to put eye drops in every 2 hours. The eye drops and ibuprofen for swelling is all she is taking now. She hasn't needed the pain meds for the last few days. She didn't like taking them anyway because it made her just feel gross. It did help with the pain though.
