@colleenyoung I am doing better with eating - I have not pureed any food for probably 10 days. Anything that requires much chewing is still a challenge. I did manage to eat pizza last Saturday but had to cut it in bitesize pieces and dip it in marinara sauce. I get more pain after eating and doing the exercises - more of a burning or stinging sensation. I still cannot open my mouth as far as I would like. The swelling in my tongue is still a lot - I thought it would have gone down more by now - it will be 8 weeks tomorrow since my surgery. My tongue sits too high up in my mouth. My speech is still very garbled too but people say they can understand me OK.
