ears were sore due to the procedure for a couple of days, pain wasnt too bad due to the technique the surgeon used, though it made the stitching more prone to coming loose so i had to go get it cauterized when the left one gave.
i lost 8 lbs in ~2 weeks, expect a lot of liquids to get you by, i recommend getting the pedialyte otterpop popsicles since it has some electrolytes. be sure to elevate your head when you sleep
Boy was sucking on popsicles for weeks
Gerber baby b****
Got damn op we gon get thru this together. Hit up that HBO
You going thru it too?
So it's about to be 5 days since the surgery, hopefully ATLEAST midway through recovery if not much further. @thebootywarrior @Zeus
Day of the surgery was fine, but then once you go home, sleep, wake up that s*** got worse I guess whatever they numb your throat with wears off.
I got this medicine that I guess helps. I'm kinda confused with it. I take it, I automatically get sleepy/dizzy, and it usually knocks me out. Also somehow stops me from focusing on my throat, but if I attempt to swallow or whatever it still hurts a s***ton.
The first few nights I was managing great, til right around day 2.5 I woke up in the middle of the night coughing. Then streams of blood start coming out my throat and I was shook af. I was literally coughing up tons of blood. They said there was a risk of bleeding afterwards, but said it was pretty small. So I was googling if I should go to the hospital but they said online bleeding after is actually pretty common. After 5-10 mins my mouth stopped leaking though and I went back to bed, and didn't have any other incident that day so I decided not panic about that.
Now it still hurts everytime I swallow, but I feel like it is slowly hurting less now. I've been sleeping and eating the same s***ty foods I'm so tired of it. I'm gonna have a big ass feast the day I'm good again.
I'm also drooling soooooo much when I sleep Also having a spit cup by my bed. This s*** is so disgusting. It feels so unsanitary.
Mostly I'm handling it well but I REALLY hope this s*** is over soon I miss real food so much. Idk why I didn't think the recovery would be this serious...
If youve had no bleeds since then i think ur good bro lol what meds did they give u
@thebootywarrior @Zeus I made it thru. This s*** was no joke to get as an adult.
Ever since like Wednesday (8th day) I basically been gucci. The throat pain completely gone in all forms today. (11th day)
Thought the s*** would take 2 whole weeks (or more since I had 3 times where my throat was bleeding lmao) but it barely took 1.
It was worth it tbh.
The pain medicine they gave me (hydrocodon acetamin) had me sleep most the time when there was pain. Swallowing at the worst point was insanely bad but my appetite wasn't really there anyways so I was fine eating bare minimum.
