I feel like I'm dying.. lol On the first day, they pressed the area around my nose with a bandage to keep the swelling from coming up, and I had bloody phlegm stuck in my throat, so I seriously felt like I couldn't breathe and was going to die. I couldn't sleep either, so I was going crazy lololol Time passed so slowly.. To make the bloody phlegm in my throat a bit less bad, I spat blood from inside my mouth into a paper cup about once every 10 minutes.. I'm getting more and more exhausted.. lol I'm having a reality check wondering why I got the surgery I wanted to drink water but couldn't, and only in the evening did it become possible. I could only swallow small amounts of water.. Around midnight, when they removed the bandage that had been pressing on my nose, it was at least bearable, but then bloody phlegm started building up like crazy again and I kept gagging.. My nose also kept getting blocked and unblocked because of the pressure.. It felt like experiencing severe rhinitis.. Because my nose and throat were blocked, even just staying still was truly painful.. I barely slept, so I stayed up all night with my eyes open Before surgery they said daily life would be possible, but my whole throat is swollen, I can't even talk, and it's hard to breathe, so what daily life are they talking aboutㅡㅡ I want to curse.. When I had nose surgery too, it was painful because they blocked it with nasal packing, but this is worse.. I keep thinking of foods I liked.. I can't eat stimulating foods for about two weeks haha They said I could eat rice too, but the stitched area on the roof of my mouth? is swollen, and every time I swallow porridge it hurts so much I feel like crying.. I replaced porridge with New Care, a complete balanced nutritional drink that patients eat instead of meals.. On day two, it's just a fight against bloody phlegm.. My throat is swollen and phlegm is stuck, so I can't even talk to other people.. I'm gargling every one or two hours with Betadine disinfectant solution.. The stitches can be removed on day 10.. so I have to keep gargling until then.. It was such a severe complex that I made up my mind for years before finally doing it.... but it's so painful I feel like I'm going crazy This is the first time time has ever passed this slowly... When I try to spit out phlegm, it irritates the roof of my mouth, causing extreme pain, and because it's irritated, I bleed more.. I'm already stressed about how I'll endure orthodontic treatment too..
