Thanks, Jerry smile

No, doesn't seem to be infection or anything ... and he added some soft plastic to it on Thursday and trimmed some off the palate and thinned that a bit too ... I just thought the surgery site was to all be covered - .... which is why I am still unclear ...

Do I eat anyway? with the hole there? Do you just ignore it or do you make sure nothing gets by it? or do i just get my meds down and forget eating for now like I am currently doing ... I am such at a loss ... They told me to go home as eat as I could and well, I just don't feel like I can with this gaping hole in my mouth .... if something goes in there where does it lead? the nose? the lungs? man, I don't know ... These are the things I wished they explained and they just don't.


Thanks for any input smile
