Sorry to read your history included such a difficult time. Its so unfortunate to hear how many hurdles you have had with this. Hope you are feeling better and better each day.

Hope you are doing jaw opening exercises to improve your trismus. Here is a link for easy to eat foods that require very limited chewing. I also have trismus and Im without teeth and can handle most of these foods. Hope this helps.
