The area is still very active, healing and all. There is also internal swelling and such that has not gone down. My doctors check the area physically (poking and prodding) but want to wait for the CT. They have told me to let them know if anything unusual comes up, pain or lump or something, but if not they seem to be happy to wait. My CT is scheduled for next month almost 6 months out.
Keep in mind that my location is the soft palet and they can get at that area fairly easily and I have no complaints.
