There is a lot of yellow crust and the nurse at the Cancer Institute said that it was a good thing today. It has been a little difficult to get questions answered over the holidays and I have chosen to be asleep most of the time so that I don't have to hurt. It is interesting that we use a lot of the same products that patients in the burn unit use.
I am now looking forward to healing and moving forward with my speech therapy and swallowing therapy next.
