Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Congratulations to you other two 10/5 surgery patients for making it to the other side. I was discharged from the hospital earlier today from my upper/lower/genio and have been adjusting to life at home. My experience has't been too awful. I had a suction machine with me in my bed that helped clear out my breathing passages and suck away the drool as needed. Breathing sucks as does swallowing. I've been using saline spray as my nasal passages are so sore. I was a big bloody mess right after the surgery and until midday yeserday. My surgeon is extremely happy with how the minimal swelling and the final results thus far. I know that this is only temporary, and there will be ups and downs along the way, but today's best will soon be tomorrow's worst, and we'll keep getting better little by little with each passing day. Keep me posted on your progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
