Ughhh, I almost think I feel worse today than I did yesterday. My throat is so sore I can hardly swallow and I have no voice. My ear just feels full and once in awhile there is a sharp pain in it, but it's managable. I've noticed my tinnitus to be waaaaay worse now that the sound is off in my ear. My taste is once again really metallic and bitter. The post op instructions say this could last days to months!! My guess is that since it was damaged before, it's going to be months. Blech....just when I was getting used to the way things were tasting. I'm not liking this! But at least I have taste at all.
I've changed my cotton ball 3 times now, but the drainage actually isn't much. I hope it won't be uncomfortable to get the packing taken out of my ear! Sleep is still pretty fractured so I'm really fatigued during the day. I think I'm more worn down from the anesthesia this time than the actual Esteem placement surgery.
I am praying my scarring doesn't go crazy this time and actually allows my device to work as it should. Countdown is on til December 13 when I can turn this on!!!
