Having right parotidectomy coming up on the 10th. I was fine a month ago and now the anxiety is creeping up. This video series has calmed that feeling. Thank you.
This was a very helpful video. I will be having a Parotidectomy in a week and this has answered so many questions. Thank you for putting this out there.
Thank you very much Dr. Moore for the well explained and assurance that the weakness will come regarding this Parotidectomy. I’ve done this 3 weeks ago. Ms. Heide you gave me a huge peace of mind with your questions. You are both greatly appreciated. Take care & God bless
I had my parodectomy done about 3 months ago and still have bad pain near the incision. My jaw feels tight and no pain medication seems to work. Have been going for psychotherapy that helps a little but pain returns the day after. What can I do to manage this pain? Will it get better?
i had surgery and after a month i still had a hard time opening my mouth and it makes me hard to brush my teeth. i wonder when can i fully open my mouth?
Where did you have surgery and who was the surgeon?Hope you don’t mind the questions. Pray you start feeling better soon and the side effects will subside🙏🏻
@@glorialopez0819 Hi there I had the surgery in Pretoria South Africa Dr Gerrie Moolman. Just an update 31 May was a year and I still have burning shooting pains
@@sharonsprenger9464 I’m so sorry to hear you’re still not feeling well. I will keep you in my prayers. I hope you start feeling better soon. May God bless you🙏🏻
@tlynn7043 I had the surgery 9 months ago. I also had a drain put in that I kept for almost a week. If you have a drain it is very important to not get direct water on it. By no means was I able to wash my hair because of the drain and because of the procedure, pain and discomfort. This is a case-by-case scenario. Not all procedures are the same, not all have a drain and not all parotid tumors are in the same location and require the same procedure. That's why I said a week- 2 weeks.
@@AyrykaSanders oh ok. My drain was taken out the second day. Yes the drain would be an issue. Hope you healed well 😊. I had my surgery a week ago today and have a lot of hard swelling in the area so I’m wondering if keeping the drain in longer is the way to go!

Thank you so much for this video, it has helped me immensely, I’m 2 weeks post op.
Thank you Heidi and Dr. Moore! 10 days post op and this made me feel even more confident & comfortable with my post operative care.

Hi how are you doing now? If I may ask. I’m scheduled to have mine next week and all these comments and video have been helpful.
Almost a year and I still have pains, pressure, my inner ear feels dry...it's so uncomfortable sleeping.
Where did you have surgery? I’m considering surgery but very apprehensive about complications afterwards. Pray you start feeling better soon🙏🏻
I'm only 2 months post-op so I have some time to go. I am experiencing this badly! My inner ear is killing me
31 Nov 21 will be 6 months, i still get a terrible tightness/pressure feeling, what can i do to relieve it?

When can you wash your hair
About a week to 2 weeks post-op.
@@AyrykaSandersif he’s saying you can wash the wound with a washcloth and soap then you can certainly wash your hair
