You haven’t posted a follow up to what the doctors are choosing to do. I and many others have been through all this including the trismus that compromises so much in life. If you have specific questions I and others would like to try and help you with experience based answers. I think your post was overlooked because it was very general in nature, and any of us could write a several hundred page book about our experiences. The question and answer format of the board lends itself to asking more specific questions, and even many of them that can be answered one at a time about what to expect. Please post again so we can give you more detailed answers to your questions. B
