Hehehe<toothbrush tip>after<day 2>before<day 4>Starting from day 2, I’ve been swelling up like crazy. Today is day 3, and my whole mouth hurts so muchㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Both ears hurt like water got in them, and suddenly I get choking coughs that make tears and snot come out... Am I okay? When I told the clinic about the swelling, they said these few days are the worst..
@————For people who don’t know, like me..————@ From the day of surgery through days 1-2, I had nausea from the anesthesia and kept dry-heaving. I threw up little by little bits of phlegm and pooled blood, and then because I was on an empty stomach, gastric fluid came up too, so my stomach even started burning.. They told me to drink water after 6 hours, so I tried as hard as I could, but during my one-night hospital stay I couldn’t even drink two cups of water, and just slept sitting up, waking up repeatedly, then got discharged.
Maybe because the prescribed antibiotics and the other two pills were strong, or because of the anesthesia, my stomach still burned and I felt nauseated. The temperature inside my mouth.. the humidity.. the smell of disinfectant.. Still, after discharge, I was hungry, so I quickly ordered pumpkin porridge, 100% blended & if you order it in a separated container, they give you a reasonably small one, from Bon Soup!! After ordering, I mixed in cold water and drank it. Until day 2, I couldn’t even eat with a yogurt spoon. good By day 3, my face had changed so much it looked like someone else’s face.. the swelling.. bruises also appeared, faded, and came and went. The inside of my cheeks swelled up so fully that it was really uncomfortable.
I think you really have to drink a lot of water. Drink lots of lukewarm water. And to settle my stomach, I watched mukbangs and drooled, then had fresh fruit juice, watermelon juice, melon juice.... a good place near my neighborhood that seemed like they added milk to melon.. After drinking that, my stomach really found the healthy digestive condition a human should have. Wow.. On day 3, now that something was going into my stomach, I looked for things I could make and eat. So I washed out the porridge container well, put in two eggs, a pinch each of salt and Dashida, added water, microwaved it twice for 3 minutes each, broke it up, then took it out after ten minutes in the freezer and ate it lukewarm with a yogurt spoon.. I drank protein milk, and because the medicine had that smell I really didn’t want to taste, I carefully swallowed it quickly. I drank lots of water too. Wow Today is day 4. The noodles in the Wangttukkeong cup ramen are thin and nice, good good. I cut up Spam and added dumplings... ate and ate, then mixed rice into it and ate that too. Human evolution is in progress, good... Before surgery, I went around pharmacies looking for a baby toothbrush and found a decent one, so I bought it, good good. Because my mouth only opens a tiny bit.. you need patience.
Since this is a major surgery that each person has to bear responsibly after their own biggest concerns, information, and choices... I hope we all endure it well and overcome it.
