Today is the 2nd day of recovery. I had my right styloid process removed on Wednesday. The pain isn't too bad at all, and I haven't had to take any pain meds for awhile. I do have a weird sensation in the area of my mouth where the stitches are located. I have been eating/drinking everything through a straw. Today I used a Nutribullet to turn ice into snow and added a little juice for flavor. I was able to eat this with a spoon and it was very soothing to my mouth. All in all….feeling pretty good so far. ---

Hi Lola, Glad that you're feeling good so far, and great that you've found ice helpful. I've had external surgery, but found chewing and opening my mouth uncomfortable, so I used a juicer and blender for juices and smoothies. Take it easy! ---

Thanks for your well wishes, Kay. Day 3 and nothing much has changed. I have not needed any pain medication today! I noticed yesterday, that the ringing in my ears is not gone! That was one of my symptoms prior to surgery. Hoping that it will eventually disappear! Kay said: > Wishing you continued healing and successful resolution of your symptoms!

Thanks for the well wishes, Madere(dancer mom)! Not much pain today and still eating soft stuff through a straw. Madere (dancermom) said: > Glad to hear you are doing well, Lola! Thanks for the update. ---

Yes, opening my mouth wide enough to put a spoon in there is still a challenge for me, too. Hoping that changes soon because I am tired of eating everything through a straw.

Wonderful. Did they have to do the tonsil, too? ---

WOW Lola! So glad you've needed so little in the way of pain meds. Days 3-4 are typically the worst post op. Once you get on to day 5 you'll begin to see daily improvement. It sounds like you're doing extremely well to me. Be patient w/ your body. Hopefully your tinnitus will subside with time. I think after nerves have been irritated for awhile, it does take time for them to mend. You'll be well & ready to teach in no time! Healing hug to you!
