second day of surgery, and de-masking!
I arrived at the hospital at 1.30pm as asked and soon after my mask was removed. Thankfully the Doctor seemed very please with the result, although all I could see is a face beetroot red. An ointment named 'Bactroban' was applied to my skin which burned and was a bit messy. I was given a couple of tubes of this to take home which is to be applied morning and night for two days.

Be prepaired, because little did I know of the PAIN of which was to come.
Don't let the idea of pain put you off, because I'm sure it's worth it, I know it will be worth it to me. It's just right now I'm in a lot of pain. I know it is my skin healing which is good, but my painkillers are only easing the pain slightly.
It's a kind of nipping sensation, almost like painful pins and needles. But well, I've volunterily asked someone to burn my skin so it's begun to heal and I just have to bear it.
Now all I have to do is get through the night.
third day of surgery
The swelling is quite bad, and I am finding it difficult to talk properly. The upside of this is that my skin is begining to crust, which means I am healing well.
All I want at this stage is time to pass as quickly as possible and hope that I get a better sleep tonight.
