OK - I made it home from the brutal hemi-glossectomy. selective ND. Took my NG out after I demonstrated I could "swallw". Pathology on lymph nodes won't be back until Tuesday when I have incision drains removed. I need some guidance on a couple of things, please: How am I suppposed to swallow antibiotics in capsule form? They stick in my mouth and can't get to my throat to be able to swallaw and taste awful if I try to break them up. When is it appropriate to move from water/juice/broth to say sherbert or milk? If there is a better place on the formu please direct me. 3 days in ICU after 24 hours in recovery. I'm still pretty out of it.
