Angela couldn't eat anything at all after hers for quite a few days. She had
so much swelling that she simply could not open her mouth enough even to get
soft food in or do anything even slightly resembling chewing. Later, it was
discovered that she suffered nerve damage from the shots she was given.
Don't know if that played into this or not. Mostly her calories came from
milkshakes but she couldn't even finish a small one of those. I think it was
about two weeks before she could get to soft foods.

I guess I was lucky. I do remember swelling and soreness but I don't recall
any trouble eating beyond the first day.
