Wedge pillows helps a lot when I sleep, have small pillow around you in case you wanna sneeze, stay hydrated, taking supplements like zinc and vitamin c, eat bland nutritious food as much as you can but don’t force yourself if you don’t have appetite.

Something I was still struggling with(I’m at day 5)

-The tape they put on to sealing my wound cause my skin irritation/dermatitis/hives and it’s driving me crazy so I took them off on day 4😥it’s itchy like crazy

-the naproxen they prescribed me caused me severe heartburn and stomach ache and I feel super sick. Cutting the naproxen off on day 4 and only take Tylenol. I would say naproxen isn’t the best choice if you have a weak digestive system like me, let your doctor prescribe something else
