Hi Jan,
Yes, your description sounds like normal healing at this point.
Regarding alcohol... if the sites are still open, then it is best to refrain from alcohol consumption.
Have a nice holiday!

I find my mouth still feels tired after a long day of talking or if I laugh a lot. I am wondering when it is ok to drink alcohol? I never drink, but of course it's Christmas and we are having a staff party - haha. Would it be ok to have some drinks at this stage in the healing? I really don't want to mess anything up and be in pain again.
Thank you so much for all your advice,
Janice
