Swelling Question? - 11-29-2010 04:53 AM
Hello all,
My grandfather got surgery on 11/01, and had most of the left floor mouth and some near the base of his tongue removed, and some of his jawbone shaved. He just came home to us the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. He's doing pretty well, but has been concerned with the swelling in his mouth. (It's a lot better now than it was even last week, but he's wishing he was 100% back to normal again!)
I've read quite a few posts on here and it seems like the swelling takes quite a while to go down, but I'd just like to ask about how long it took for anyone's swelling to go down?
Thanks to everyone for the kind welcome, and in advance for your commentary!
Cheers!
