Day 12 - Post Op
I'm planning on posting daily until day fourteen. As we get closer, there is less to post about. I guess that is good news.
Yesterday, I made a big leap forward and nothing has change today. I'm still pain free and if possible even more so. My throat feels a lot more like pre surgery. Hopefully, will less problems. Today, I noticed that my lymph nodes in my neck weren't swollen. They have been swollen for so long, I thought that was normal. It still seems as though my scabs have remained but, the holes have closed more. Kind of the same feeling and visual of a wisdom tooth extraction. I guess that makes complete sense since it's the same type of tissue.
I'm taking Percoset every 6 hours and may very well switch to a half a Percoset every 6 hours by tomorrow. Then Wednesday (day 14) I will continue with Tylenol alone.
I went out today, on my own. It was just food shopping down the block but, it was nice to feel independent again.
I'm back to eating more solids rather than soft solids. Today I ate protein shakes, oatmeal, salad, meatloaf and a small piece of chocolate. The chocolate causes a lot of phlegm but, chocolate is a necessity for this milk allergy laden gal.
Back to "normal",
