Good:
Oatmeal: back on the menu today.
Salad: back on the menu as of last night, provided it has nothing crunchy like carrots or radishes.
Bread: back on the menu as of last night, including crust, if it isn't super crusty.
Dental care: back to normal as of a couple of days ago. Electric toothbrush, floss, night guard.
Less good:
Nose taping: 24/7 except for showers, at least for another week and possibly three. My nose is still a little tender, so I have to wash my face gently while it's untaped.
Evil prescription shampoo: at least one more week and possibly three. I'm afraid to use conditioner, because the point of the shampoo is to prevent infection, which leads me to...
Hairline incision: red, with decreasing lumpiness. At least the scabs have come off, sometimes with a few hairs. I've been faithfully applying my silicone gel to it. I've also been wearing a hat whenever I go outside or get on video at work. I'll be doing that until November.
Walking: have I gotten in two hours every day? Wayell, some days I've done an hour and a half. If I get a bonus for walking uphill, I'm all set. Thanks, Seattle! I have basically run out of things I could reasonably get at the grocery store; I may hit Mr. B's Meadery this evening.
Glasses: on a hook attached to an elastic band around my forehead, and will be for the text three weeks.
Nerves: growing back slowly. I don't have much sensation at all in my lower front teeth. I'm kind of numb and tingly from my lower lip to my chin, and I have no sensation at all for a few inches behind the hairline incision.
Future:
Going bananas on my eyebrows in a week.
Maybe start taping just at night in a week? I need to ask the Sculptor's office.
Modular synthesizer makers on Thursday.
Blue Moon 5/26?
The Mercury's anniversary 5/30.
