Hi,
I had all of that including the frustration.
It's all a normal part of the whole mess.
Funny I cant tell you how many times I see this out here.
He will get better for sure. The frustrating part is the whole "I wanna get my life back to normal" thing.
Now is the time you realize just exactly what your body went through.
It took me 6 months to feel normal again. The worst is when you have two or three good days followed by 3-4 bad days. That really pisses you off.
Then eventually the good days start taking over and you start to understand what you will have to live with as far as permanent side effects. Neck Spasm's, dry mouth etc. Key word there by the way is "Live With"
The mucous thing has just about run its course as far as thick stuff. Gargle with Baking Soda and it goes away for a while. That helped me quite a bit.
Your in the home stretch for sure here. Stay positive!!!!!
Take it easy. Good things.
