My mother suffers with a lot of swelling in her face and neck area also . The doctors told us it was Lymphedema. The doctor ordered Rehab in which certain facial exercises were done to help the fluid learn to route itself through other avenues . It did help some but really it takes a long time before the swelling stops. My mom swells More so in the morning but after she walks around it seems to go down some.

my mother had a cup of crushed ice with her all the time. She nibbled on that a lot for the raw burning in her throat. But my mother did have the peg so we made sure she got the calories she needed . I think you should push for the peg sooner than the 28th. That's still a week away and that's to long to go without eating.
