post surgery: day 1

I had to take an antibiotic when I woke up this morning, and I have to continue to take them for the next three days.  My eye is showing more bruising, which the doctor said is normal, and the swelling has gone down in some parts of my face, but is still really swollen around my eye and nose.  My sister, Myrtle, keeps trying to lick my stitches, but I don't like it when she does it because it is still really sensitive there.  I've been feeling pretty tired today, and have spent most of the day sleeping.
