BETH! Re: upper jaw surgery (to Eileen)

[Guest guest]

Hi Eileen,

I'm sorry you're having troubles right now! Hang in there and it

WILL get better. One of the things that's bugging me right now is

that my soft palate at the back of my throat is swollen and it just

feels so sore and dry, making it more of a challenge to swallow, but

I'm figuring that swelling has got to go down eventually just like

much of the other swelling has.

Days 2 and 3 were some of the hardest, I thought. Although I still

don't feel great, there does look to be the proverbial light at the

end of the tunnel. It seems like a long, tough road, though, doesn't

it?? Thank goodness for the support we can give each other here!
