Lower Jaw Surgery: Update Compilation One

Surgeon said I have a lot of bone mass, so I should heal quite easily. My anesthesiologist gave me extra pain medication before I woke up, which is why my pain level was so low. I had no pain when I left the hospital on Thursday. While in the hospital, I used a suction device to remove any saliva or blood in the mouth. It's hard to swallow the first few days, as the throat is sore from the stomach-pump tube the staff places through the nose, down the throat. Your throat will be sore for a few days as a result of this. The purpose of the stomach tube is to pump out any blood that has drained into your stomach. This prevents any nausea. My checkup with the surgeon is tomorrow, Thursday July 16 2009. I tore the suture on my right side from jabbing it with the syringe tip, so it's bleeding intermittently now. I am now only drinking on my left side of the mouth. I find it easier to drink with the syringe pointed toward the back of the mouth, rather than have the syringe pointed at the front teeth and letting the liquid get all over the place. This keeps your tongue and inner teeth areas cleaner than if you were to draw in the liquid through the front teeth. At night, I have syringes by my recliner (elevate your head maybe 30-degrees to limit the pressure on the swelled areas) since my throat gets extremely dry. Sometimes if the throat is too dry, it attempts to close up, preventing anymore air from entering your lung. Always keep the throat moistened. I wake up several times ...
