Day 3 post-op

     It's remarkably easier to swallow today. Liquids are still easier than solids. My neck has started cramping. I believe part of that is the muscle adjusting to the new arrangement of my neck bones. My tens unit is really helping with that.

I got a bone growth stimulator today. I have to wear it 4 hours a day. I can separate it into segments, no shorter than one hour. I may wear it for four hours strait. If that is too difficult, I will split it into two 2 hour segments. Its wireless, so I can go out into public if the need arises.

I have an awesome husband who is doing all he can to make me comfortable.  I wanted to go to my group meeting today. My husband was willing to pack up everything I would to make me comfortable. My mind was willing, but my body isn't yet. I believe I will be able to go next week.

For the moment, It's liquids, Netflix medicine, and a row of knitting every now and then.
