Heart Post acdf surgery 5th day

Hi
I had 3 level acdf on Monday. I have had a tough time of it but guess to be expected?

Wearing a soft collar off and on. Able to sleep in my bed with propped up pillows.

Taking Percocet every few hours. The pain I am experiencing is:

Area of incision and surrounding area. Incision swollen. Also I broke out in terrible rash on my throat and chest. Benedril.

My shoulders hurt. I suppose it's the muscles. I just plain hurt!

My throat is sore and I have developed a sort of snore when I lie down. Esophagus?

I showered and that felt good. I took a short walk yesterday. But mostly I am recouping. And sleeping quite a bit. My body is healing itself.

Anyone have any thoughts? Please, someone, talk to me!

Stacie
