I hope you are recovering well I had that same surgery January 2018. I remained in the hospital for 7 days. I personally had the hardest time with the trach. It lasted two days. The feeding tube was removed before I left the hospital (day 6). I started radiation 6 weeks later. Week 5-6 of radiation was almost harder for me than the surgery. Very difficult to eat or drink anything. Never needed a feeding tube.

My left leg is still a little weaker than before but able to do most physical activity.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
