Recovery Journal: Day 4 – The Ugly, Crispy Face and Taking on Diverticulitis

Good morning guys. This is day 4. This is by far the ugliest day of them all. Face. The swelling is starting to go down, but the skin is just crispy. The corners of my mouth are crispy. My lips look like they’ve been blown up. Um, my eyes were crispy shut this morning. Um, you can see the only place they didn’t laser was my eyebrows. That’s funny. Um, but my goal today is to not take any pain medication because I have diverticulitis litis, however you say it. Um, my stomach is a real issue, so I have to be very, very careful. I don’t want to take any harsh laxatives or anything like that. So my best route is to stop taking the pain medication and try to move my body and eat fiber and drink coffee and all that good stuff. So if you have any advice, let me know. Hi guys. I started the um, celery pack today and I’m up out of bed. Um, I’m very uncomfortable cause it itches, it’s so tight and it burns. But as you can see, the swelling starting to go down, so I’m really happy about that. I have to keep my hair out of my face because it sticks and gets crusty and I gotta pull it out of my skin. It’s not nice. But here’s today’s update.
