Week 2 Post Op Emotions
I think the excitement is definitely starting to wear off. Week 1, I couldn’t stop looking at myself in the mirror. (not in a narcissistic way, I think…) I looked in the mirror more in that first week than I have my entire life. I must admit, it was very exciting to see the new changes to my face. I now feel have become used to the changes…I realise I am still healing, and things are going to keep changing over the next 6 months. But I don’t believe they will be drastic changes. Overall I am feeling pretty good. But the high and excitement of the first week has definitely gone. This is very contradictory to what I have read about post op depression which many people suffer. For some odd reason, my emotions went in the opposite direction.
