So I'm on day 9 if Day of surgery is 0. Pain is still there but still taking the hydromorphine. To be honest i thought it would be alot worse. Its not easy but i survived! I'm hoping it gets better soon since Christmas is around the corner. I can never finish a meal, it's mainly mashed potatoes and gravy for me. Dairy causes me to have tons of phlegm. How bad was radiation after Tors recovery? Which one is the more evil of the two?
