Hi Cindy! Welcome to OCF! Im right there with you on the trismus. It stinks but we have to deal with it. Sorry to her you have a trach. Ive had one of those too, but only for about 2 months. Ive also done 125 HBO, so we are very much alike smile I really liked your post! We all end up with all kinds of little lovlies as after effects. Things we just have to deal with. Keep that upbeat attitude smile
