Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I had my lower jaw surgery yesterday at 8am and was out of the hospital at 5pm that day. It wasnt at bad, probaly the worst part was when I woke up. I wasnt sick but the pain was really bad and I couldnt talk. Finally when they brought me back to my room the nurse gave me some morphine, which helped a bit. I had a big bandage going around my face, and they had it really tight to prevent swelling, this is what caused most of my pain. Also I had drainage tubes stitched inside the sides of my neck!! Which was sort of a shock too me, because they never told me thats how they were going to do it. (Probaly because they didnt want to scare me. So at 5pm they took how the bandage, which made it feel SO MUCH better, and then they took out the drainage tubes from the sides of my neck, which wasnt fun at all and was really scary, but i was so relieved to be going home. So now its the next day, Im pretty swelled up, but the pain isnt bad at all, its more stiff and tight and I talk alright. I just wanted to thank everyone for the support and help. If anyone has any questions, feel free to msg me or email me. Christie Canada, BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
