Linda,
Good to hear you're doing well. I've pretty much healed burn wise on the face and neck, the inside of the mouth is still pretty raw, but I'm almost off of the sustained release morphine completely, and stepping down on almost all of the breakthrough pain meds.

No taste yet, but I'm hoping for a return soon. I have a fair bit of TMJ-style pain on the opposite side, almost like a pinched nerve sort of pain on occasion. I am undergoing some massage therapy for that next week, hopefully we'll see some improvement there
Take care
Wayne
