48 hours later and this is how my scar was looking. By now it was beginning to swell up and really starting to pull against the clear tape that was covering it. It felt very tight and uncomfortable, like someone was pressing their fingers into the centre of your throat all the time, I have always hated anything tight against my neck, so this feeling was particularly unpleasant. I also had very restricted head and neck movement and this just made everything difficult. You really don't realise how much you move your head around until you can't.
On a more positive note though, the pain was starting to ease and, although I felt incredibly tired, I was starting to get back to normal, albeit very slowly. So, if I felt like this after 48 hours, then it was a positive outlook for the next few days. I still had day 5 to face, and as the tape continued to get tighter, the thought of removing it felt less and less appealing. Still, the hospital would not have left me to take it off on my own if it was going to be that difficult - would they?
