My first surgery!!?

I am having my adenoids removed, and a deviated septum fixed..and some other things. I know this is a very common surgery, but to anyone that has had it. How bad is the recovery!?

anything special i need to no?

You're in for some bruising and a sensation similar to that of a moderate sore throat. Ice Cream will be your best bet. It's a comforting treat that will also help soothe the pain.

my dad and i had the same surgery for him recovery was a breeze (that's what he said) for me recovery was a ****** my best advice is to get a bottle of sleeping pills and just sleep the whole way through but occasionally get something to eat and go to the bathroom though that's what i did good luck

age has alot to do with recovery, i was 14 it was a week or more for me. but medicine has came along way, from icepops to potato chips now. salt does heal! if you have a good dr. you`ll do fine~
