Healing Day 4 - Sleep
My painkillers did the trick and I was finally able to get some sleep. Today they made me a bit sleepy so I even took a nap. When I woke up and turned my head, my face was stuck to the pillow. Gross I know. My face is still very red and hurts. It's peeling quite a bit. I have to resist the urge to help the peeling along. I can take two pills, but today I only took one so that I could function. Two of them knock me out, so I will take two before bedtime. It's important to stay ahead of the pain, because when it comes it comes quickly and is very intense. I do still look terrible, but can see the healing is progressing. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
