Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Ok, here's a random question - how does one cope with yawning when you are wired or banded shut? With exams upon me I have been going with few hours of sleep a night and so have taken to yawning for hours on end. I actually believe a good healthy yawn is good for you, gets the oxygen to your brain:-) But then it got me thinking to how one copes with this after surgery. Does your mouth just not open or do you have to actually stifle your yawns? Or is my concern absolutely silly? Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 being wired shut, yawning aches but nothing major at all... but this may be different for some people since i have zero pain other than when I yawn....Sneezing ont he toehr hand.. I only sneezed twice since being wired two weeks ago... once in the hospital adn I think the IV pain meds were still in good effect becuase it didnt hurt toooooo much (it did scare me though adn did hurt a bit) and I sneezed again maybe the first or second day home and I hurt for abotu an hour afterward... didnt do any damage or anythign, just hurt.... and since then I havent sneezed again (thank lord) Kev Sara wrote: Ok, here's a random question - how does one cope with yawning when you are wired or banded shut?

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Sara, You read my mind! I was thinking this very question yesterday. And along with yawning - how about sneezing? Realized driving home last night that I won't be able to sing for 2 months. That's a huge bummer.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Kev, Well, it's pollen season where I am - and I'm allergic! So much for sitting out in the sun while I recover! ( I was going to wear a hat, but still!) *sigh* Carol > Ok, here's a random question - how does one cope with yawning when you > are wired or banded shut?
