I guess your surgery (I had 2: partial and then total) wasn't quite as easy as mine. I didn't get any "feel good" painkillers; just paracetamol and an icepack "choker" changed every 2 hours since I only had discomfort, not pain. The icepack helped swelling and bruising considerably since they put it on while I was still in recovery. I even ate the hospital food (OK I nearly threw up the first time but that was the anaesthetic effect ;)). Keep your chin up (literally since it helps keep the scar tissue from tightening).
