I was lucky and didn't even have a sore throat, but this doesn't sound right to me...does she speak to anyone else, is that why the doctors aren't concerned?
I was intubated for 5 of the 9 days I was hospitalized, I haven't even been home for a week yet. I'm very lucky & grateful to be alive but I just want to know what to expect/look for in terms of side effects, prognosis, etc. This is the very 1st site that has made me feel "normal", and I have logged some serious search hours in 5 days. Does anyone know what causes the muscle weakness and pain? The sedatives maybe? I received amazing care that humbled me but reading my summary was of no help, didn't even mention intubation or being flown to another hospital mid procedure...I could've written a more harrowing account of the papercut I got from the summary thank you to everyone who shares their story, it's the only real info I've come across!

... (more)I was unconscious, but it saved my life. If there were alternative treatments I would recommend anything other than what I went through.
