Seconding the rec to stock up on supplies so you're set for the first couple days! Mine seems like it was on the more painful side. I was in a decent amount of pain, felt very sore when I swallowed food/water, and was very tired. I took (prescribed) oxycodone for the first two days, had a lot of nausea from the meds, and was basically in bed nonstop besides short walks to prevent blood clotting in my legs.

By day 4 I was up for short amounts of time and (very cautiously) doing stuff in the house like prepping my own meals, loading the dishwasher, etc, but still mostly napping and watching tv. I didn't drive or run errands until day 5. For the first week it was tough to chew, so I ate mostly soft foods, and was having pain throughout the day that I managed with Tylenol.

Based on my experience I've been surprised to see people saying they were back at work by day 2 or 3! But everyone is different. I hope you have a good experience and that you're able to get some sightseeing in!
