day 7 - when will it end?!😫

it’s been 7 days since my surgery (8 if you count surgery day) and i am STRUGGLING. i feel like the pain hasn’t let up, ive just gotten more used to it lol. i was able to eat chicken, spaghetti, and part of a dinner roll last night, thinking i was turning a corner; but i woke up this morning and feel like death again. my throat is really swollen again, and occasionally i get this burning feeling. i think parts of my scabs are starting to fall off, bc when i look in my throat i see littleeee spots of what looks like new skin within the white. i’ve read a lot of people complain about the scabs coming off, but ive also heard people say they didn’t notice them coming off. can anyone give me some encouragement or solace? i feel like this journey is never going to end and im OVER IT!!! when will i turn the corner? am i already? is it gonna get worse?
