Well went to Dr. Appointment today. No more trake tube,removed all drains I had left,no more walking boot. So that leaves me with feeding tube,cause I failed swallowing test,I'm about 14 days out of surgery. Still have a good nit of swelling in mouth. She made another appointment 3 weeks from now. Looking at about 5 weeks post surgery then. Was wondering is this normal? They say everything looks good healing good,just kinda down I guess. If you don't mind me asking how long did it take some of you guys to pass swallow test,thanks
