Jenny McCarthy's Jaw-Dropping Struggle: 'I Had To Eat Soft Foods Only'
Comedian and actress Jenny McCarthy is speaking out about her harrowing health struggle, which left her with a deep bone infection that caused her teeth to fall out and painful growths on her eyeballs. The 53-year-old revealed in an interview with People that she underwent nine mouth surgeries this year alone, chipping into her jawbone that led to the infection.
McCarthy, who has been on antibiotics for over a year, had to eat soft foods only due to the extensive dental work. However, even after taking the photos for her and husband Donnie Wahlberg's holiday card, she still required additional surgeries. "I've been pretty unlucky," she said, attributing her slender frame to not being able to really eat because of a mouthful of stitches.
The actress shared a photo from their holiday card, where she looked trim in a red bikini, but noted that even then, she was still under the weather. "It's been a little tricky-wicky getting together," McCarthy said, explaining that she's been busy shooting "The Masked Singer" in Los Angeles while Wahlberg's been in Canada for his police drama, "Boston Blue."
Despite the challenges, McCarthy is now on the mend and excited to spend more time with her husband. She shared that she's looking forward to finally being able to eat all the festive holiday dishes, particularly the traditional French's green bean casserole. The couple has a family tradition of making it on holidays, which they continued after marrying.
McCarthy's health scare highlights the importance of seeking medical attention when symptoms persist or worsen over time. The actress's resilience and determination are an inspiration to fans, as she navigates this difficult period and looks forward to enjoying quality time with her loved ones during the holiday season.

i'm so glad she's on the mend 
! i can only imagine how hard it must be for her to eat regular food with all that dental work done 
but yay for her getting back to enjoying festive holiday dishes like green bean casserole 
! donnie wahlberg sounds like a great husband, supporting her through this tough time 
. her positivity and resilience are truly inspiring 
, can't wait to see what the rest of her year brings 
I mean, nine mouth surgeries in one year? That's wild! 
I can only imagine how tough it must be for her to deal with the pain and not being able to eat what she wants. Soft foods only for a year straight? 
That's a real holiday buzzkill. But kudos to her for staying positive and focusing on spending time with Donnie 
. And yay for getting to enjoy some festive food in moderation 
I hope she recovers fully soon and gets back to her normal self 
I mean, chipping away at ur jawbone isn't easy, lol 
anyway, I'm glad to hear she's on the mend & can't w8 2 get back 2 normal life, let alone enjoy some festive holiday food 
, can you believe Jenny McCarthy went through that?! 
She's been on antibiotics for over a year and still had to do MOUTH SURGERY after taking those holiday pics? 
but I guess she wasn't feeling 100% even then 
. Anyway, so glad to hear she's on the mend and can finally enjoy all that festive food 
so like Jenny McCarthy had a really bad health problem and had to get 9 mouth surgeries? 
. But you know what's even crazier? She was still able to take a photo for her holiday card in a red bikini 
. I mean, who needs that much surgery? Soft foods only? That's like being in a bad relationship - you gotta keep things gentle 
! 
I'm sure it'll be a welcome comfort during the holidays. Just hope she can get back to eating all sorts of delicious foods soon 
. And don't even get me started on the holiday card pics - she looks tired and stressed out 
. Just hope she's okay now and can enjoy those festive holidays with her husband without any more health scares 
. and i love how she's focusing on getting better and enjoying all those yummy holiday dishes 
.
