Buck,
I just wanted to say a few things more...
Number one is that your should try to avoid *sneezing* as much as possible. I sneezed for the first time since the surgery two days ago and it hurt my tonsil pockets A LOT!
I was surprised because I thought I was pretty healed, but sneezing must hit that area in a way I didn't expect.
Yawning, and stretching your mouth as wide as it will go, can also hurt. The pain goes away once your throat is used to stretching again though. It's not a big deal.
Also, if you use the CPAP machine after the surgery the way I have, you should notice that your tongue looks a lot more pink. For the longest time, my tongue was white and dry. Now it stays healthy looking and pink, I think, because I breathe through my nose instead of my mouth when sleeping.
Again, watch out for sneezing!
Zach
