Wow!!!! Sounds to me like you are doing very well with your recovery. Im so glad to hear the surgery went as planned and your doctor says he got clear margins. Hopefully this will be all the treatment you need and you can get back to living life smile You are doing great with being able to eat. Im sure its not the easiest thing to do and must be uncomfortable, you are definitely a trooper!

Keep us posted on your progress and upcoming appointment.

Best wishes with your continued recovery!!!



PS... Im not sure what you mean about your ear feeling "late"???
