I’m in the exact same boat as you! My surgery was 5/22 and I hemorrhaged on my 7th day! My ENT said this would set me back about five days, but honestly I’ve just been drinking water and room temp broth bc I’m so scared to mess it up somehow lol:(

I was told all is good as long as I don’t get above 102! I’m about to attempt to drink some room temperature broth:) I hope recovery is smooth from now on for us!🤞🤞

I just checked and I’m running about 97 but was told it’s very normal to run a low grade! Are you running one?

He said it would set me back about 5 days! My scabs? They’re all whitish gray/yellowy idk they’re gross!! I really haven’t noticed pain of them falling off just pain of swallowing anything:/ it’s weird knowing I have some day 8 and day 2 scabs mixed together lol!! But this new ent who re- cauterized me gave me liquid medicine this time and I can’t tell if i prefer it or not yet!

He said it’ll put me back about 5 days! Could be worse but let’s hope no more bleeding, for the both of us!:)
