I would definitely go to the wound specialists. You do not want to go into surgery with open wounds! All kinds of germs and infections could get into either one or both while hospitalized. Plus thats another month away which could be a big difference in healing. Being 90% healed in 7 months is excellent!!!

If you have had radiation treatments you will notice wound, sores, cuts, etc seem to take forever to heal! Since your surgery was only 7 months ago, you still have lots of time to get the remaining areas to completely heal. You had a very complicated surgery that will take your body over a year to recover from it. When I had my mandibulectomy (after previous rads resulting in very slow healing) It took me closer to 2 years until I actually felt like I was as good as I would ever get. My numerous complications played a major role in making the healing very, very slow! It was so slow, I had the wound care dept., an infectious disease specialist, visiting nurse, 8 months of a picc line with 2x a day IV antibiotics as well as hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBO) as well as all the different attempts from the wound care team to get everything to heal.

Id also suggest to check with your doc about adding high protein whey powder to your diet. This will increase your daily protein intake which should help speed up your healing.

Good luck!!!!
