Hi, Christine -

My marginal mendiblectomy was less severe than your surgery. My recovery was uneventful, but one month out, I wasn't able to open my mouth as wide as before. My ENT told me it could have been worse. And two months out, I had to think, "Is this really worth chewing?" Still do. I don't have swallowing problems, as long as I cut my food in small pieces. I don't do steak or nuts, & chicken can be tough. I don't do sandwiches well. It's a minor price I'm glad to pay.

Hang in there!

Marlene
