Thanks everyone for your comments!
My throat pain is completely gone. No pain at all at the incision site or in the front of my neck period. Other than a lump swallowing occasionaly from moving my muscles around, that's pretty good. I am having nerve pain from my neck down my left arm. I'm hoping that is due to my nerves being set free after being compressed for 3 years. I am curious if anyone else had post op nerve pain and if so, when did it subside? Other than that, I'm doing well. I am taking my Nsaids and seem to really only need the pain meds at night due to lack of sleep and not being able to get comfortable. I'm a pretty active person so I think the hardest part of this is not being able to get up and do things. So, today I will finish watching shark week and probably eat a cinnamon roll, maybe go for a walk...
