Day 1 It just hurts. It hurts a lot. It’s hard to talk. It feels like my throat has been pierced. Still, because I kept drinking lukewarm water, the blood drained out, and even though I slept a bit restlessly, the choking/coughing from aspiration gradually settled down. Phewㅠㅠㅠㅠ I’m not sure about the swelling. The nurses said I’m less swollen than expected. The doctor must be right.
Day 2 Right now I’m doing swelling care and using ice packs hard, and I still can’t be discharged yet. It’s been 20 hours since the surgery, and my throat finally hurts a little less. With phlegm and coughing, it really feels like if I don’t hold back the cough, my cheekbones will get completely wrecked and I’ll have to go in for revision surgery, so I’m forcing myself to hold it inㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I can’t close my mouth and it’s driving me crazy. Between my ear and jaw, it feels stiff...
