Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Just read your post. I have gotten sick after every surgery I've ever had. But not this one. No at all. They had the tube down my nose for one night and took it out the next morning and I never got sick, and everything makes me sick. I was in ICU one night, regular floor 1 night and went home on the third day. I wasn't wired just banded and not tight. I could still open my mouth. I never got stopped up at all. I could breath easily through my nose and my mouth, and I don't think your throat gets swollen at all. I've never heard of anyone's getting swollen. The first week is rough. But, there is no pain. Your numb so you don't have any pain. I didn't have to take any pain meds when I got home. The only reason I used the Morphine pump in the hospital was to sleep because the first week at home you can't sleep. I think it's from coming off all the meds. Good luck.
