Batman
When I was able to finally focus my vision, I wanted to see my lip. Boy, was that a mistake! I immediately started to cry because it was very awful to see. That was on Tuesday and it is now Friday. The surgery site still looks pretty awful, but it is starting to heal. The bruises are getting darker which indicates healing and my stitches feel real tight. I look a lot like The Joker from Batman actually I look worse than The Joker. Stitches everywhere and I don’t anticipate them falling out anytime soon! I look like I was in a terrible accident. I kind of wish I had been in one so I’d have an interesting story to tell. “Ahh, I got them from the sun” kind of a boring story. Anyway, I feel okay and everything seems to be healing okay. I’m taking less pain medication which is always a good sign….the less I hurt, the less medication I need.
I actually enjoyed the mess I call my lip yesterday. I went shopping with Mom and Dad. I originally thought I would wear a mask and about 20 minutes into Wal-mart I decided to say take the mask off. What do I have to be ashamed of? The adults seemed to be less polite than the children. Kids would notice my lip, look scared and hide behind their parents while their parents just stared! I have to admit scaring the kids made me giggle.
Later last night Mom and I took Alex and Jake out..Jake had lots of questions like: If you get hit in the mouth with a baseball; will the stitches fall out? Wow, you look terrible; Does it hurt? Leave it to Jake to be brutally honest. I don’t care though, the kids are just honest and their honesty makes me laugh. Sophia just looked at it and made the vomit sign out opening her mouth and sticking her tongue out real far.

Yes Jake can sometimes be brtual with some of his comments, but oh so funny. And it really doesn’t look like batman, maybe if you put some heavy red lipstick around it, it would, but once the bruising is gone it will be easy for others not to notice.
Amanda really likes to see people’s reaction.
