Update again... Christmas was great. Was able to be there with Mom and give her my special Gift I made her. It was a photo quilt of her family.

I am still in Therapy but was wondering if anyone can tell me how long the edema lasts. It seems like it swells more when I talk or eat. This makes it more difficult to eat and talk. Therapist is getting a pressure mask to see if that will help. Also doing the massages to help redirect the fluids in face to the glands. This also makes it hard to eat..

I think I am just impatient.!! Also how long before you can get a dentures or a plate made. Is is like a year?? It would be nice to have some back teeth..
