So, here’s the situation. Like the title says, I’ve got damage to my parotid gland, right there in the cheek area. I had to get stitches in my face, and they were cutting into the wound to insert a drain. Now, every single time I try to eat or drink anything, saliva just leaks out of the incision. And I mean, it leaks a lot. If anyone else has dealt with this kind of mess, I’m curious—how long does the healing process actually take? My doctors are being pretty vague about it.🙂
