Thanks so much for this. My husband had the surgery to take out the titanium plate several weeks ago. Feeling better. Parts of his face are still very swollen. I think the hardest part for him is that he is still eating nothing but pureed foods and he's sick of them. Plus, he's really having a hard time with dealing with the way he looks. He thinks the surgeries have really changed him. My feeling is he would be so much better once the swelling goes down and he can finally go back to lymphedema therapy so that he can manipulate food a little better.

A long journey. It heartens me, though, to know that things have improved for you.

Really appreciate your info.
