Post op 3rd day and excruciating pain when swallow even water

[Who Dat 70461 331]

Your husband sounds like a really sweet, compassionate, supportive guy...borderline Saint!

I suspect his attempts to motivate you were misconstrued as abrasive/insensitive...possibly due to your drug-induced state of consciousness. In fact, you should stop watching "The Real Trashwives of Wherever" and go give him a big hug for being so loving!

I am 9 weeks out and I still have a heck of a time with plain Water, especially cold water. I drink warm/hot water in the morning and hot tea. I have barely any issues swallowing that but cold, plain water, forget it. I did find that I can drink Gatorade G2 without issue as well. Hopefully you can find seething that works for you. As far as the pain, everyone is different and every surgery is different. So just because two people live in the same house, doesn't mean the same recovery. And what motivates one may not motivate the other. Good luck to both of you!
