Are the stitches the kind that dissolve? I couldn't imagine them pleasant to have taken out.

I had my tonsils removed this time last year and while they aren't the same surgery. I am sure some of my tips for pain/comfort will help. If you can get ice packs that wrap around your neck get them. It helps a lot with swelling. Stay hydrated! Not sure what your tolerance is but I could not handle cold foods whatsoever. I drank room temperature water only. If you are having a hard time getting any food down I suggest Boost or Ensure to at least get something in you. Also, hang in there! It can be a long frustrating road to recovery but it's worth it.

My first thought was why someone was carrying a garter snake to begin with.
