Day 2

Day two sucks.

My ENT and a friend warned me about day 3 and 4.  At day 1, you wonder, how will this get worse? Let me tell you how:

  • Your neck hurts from the base of your head to your collarbones
  • Your ears will plug at first, followed by a consistent ache
  • Your jaw begins to ache since it was most likely cranked open during surgery
  • Your head will begin to ache, along with your jaw because you may need to clench your teeth in order to swallow
  • Your throat is still on fire
  • And lastly, your tongue swells and makes is unbearable to move
No amount of pain medication on day three seems enough.

Oh, and I also had nausea which added to the awesomeness that is day three.

Not being able to talk is super hard for me.  My house has been so quiet and I feel helpless.  My daddy bought me a note pad so that I can write, so that sits next to my bell.
