Another Ropey SP

Three weeks since my operation now and I'm still on the bench as far as getting back to work is concerned.

The swelling has come down a fair bit since the day after. It will get better next week when I have the splint (gum shield) removed, I'll be able to eat more than soup and yogurt then. The next bit will be in another 2 months when they remove the 4 phillips screws from my jaw bones. I can still feel nothing in my bottom lip and down (feels like heavy local anaesthetic from an over enthusiastic dentist) - which still makes eating difficult and embarrassing. To continue the moaning, it hurts, often - yawning, coughing, sneezing, sudden movements are all no fun.

I'm not completely sure about going back to work next week (as I kind of promised)....... I hate these decisions - guilt vs common sense. (I don't really have much of either).

Taken down in my local Rope Forrest, in the Carlsberg Grounds.
