rob had his surgery before rad treatment and at 5 weeks post tx he started with terrible pain in his jaw.He couldnt open his mouth very far and couldnt chew and his speech is very slurred.The problem is that with healing comes tightening of all the things that were cut and sewn back up.Robin was told to do yawning exersises after his rnd which of course he didnt bother too much about as he had a peg tube.The problems started when he tried to start eating again but he is trying to do the exersises the Dr gave him now and he can get three fingers side ways in his mouth which is apparently the bench mark.Also the scar from the dissection is looking very "pulled up" and his chest hair is sprouting out of the middle of it.The surgeon said it will be at least six month before this improves
