    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.

    Thank you Heidi and Dr. Moore! 10 days post op and this made me feel even more confident & comfortable with my post operative care.

    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

      @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!

    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?
