Wow, what a difference four (albeit intense and challenging) days makes. I can see now that my problem isn't going to be getting her up, moving and back on her feet but rather getting her to SLOW DOWN. She is walking (carefully) fully on her own now. Facial swelling is down to about 25%. She does have bruises, a black eye, and bruises on her cheek and chin, but they are fading quickly. She gets tired easily which frustrates her but that is to be expected. She is still getting anxious from time to time for example an itch on her incision set her into a panic, and she is not looking forward to showering and getting her incision wet for the first time (basically refusing to do it, I'll let it slide another day..) but other than that she is recovering much faster than I had expected her to. It's great to hear her trying to boss me around, although I can't imagine I'll find that amusing much longer ❈ Best of all her smile is back. ❈
