I have just had tmj surgery, they cut both sides and wired my teeth shut, was in icu for 2 nights, on a respirator, the whole 9 yards .... I'm icing my face all day long to try to reduce the swelling, my goodness I look like a chipmunk ... Any idea how long I can expect this to last before I start to look normal-ish? And any suggestions for food? Soup broth is getting old real fast.
