hello again, well my father is being treated for an infection.. he had his surgery on december 7, at was looking really good up until about 1.5weeks ago.. so we took him in to see the ENT and he said looks like infection.. both sides were swollen, red and warm.. left side now looks a lot better, but right side doesnt seem to be going down as much and looks a little red, almost like a sunburn.. no fever, pain is under control, has not had any pain pills, and is on the 50mcg patch, and has actually asked about going down to the 25.. has anyone experienced this redness and swelling on just one side? also, i also came across a discussion where a gentlemen was actually allergic to the titanium in the plate.. any thoughts or feedback would be great..

thank you and God bless
