Had my surgery yesterday (tongue and neck dissection). Woke up in the recovery and felt a bit scared lol as remembered they told me i would have two surgeries at the ssame time (tongue and neck) and for some reason thought they have done only tongue and that now there would do the neck) probably i thought so as i didnt feel any pain. They put a lot of local anaerstesia in the areas so there was no pain and i felt very comfortable.

I havent seen my tongue yet as still cant open my mouth propertly and a bit scared to see my new tongue but can feel something is missing:(

They said i kept very well during surgery and appear recovering well. I haven't used my morphin doses which were attached to my hand for self-service but was given some paracetamol instead. So a lot of local anaestesia was a good thing i believe while it was healing.

My parents told me yesterday my speech was the same as before surgery but today feeling more difficult to speak and swallow as feeling a bit sore and uncomfortable.
