These Old Teeth

No changes. No worse. No better. Not cool.

Day Three Post Surgery

When they tell you Day Three Post Surgery will be worse than what you went through before now, they are not kidding. Swelling got worse today as did the pain. Coming off a night when the pain pills took till three in the morning to kick in and then gave me horrible and very weird dreams, today has been rough. I am warned that tomorrow could be as bad or worse.

Blah.

Saturday Afternoon Update

I am doing okay. Pain, so far, has been minimal and the bleeding finally stopped mid afternoon yesterday. I was able to eat some applesauce for dinner, ice cream late last night, and had some scrambled eggs for breakfast. So, I am doing okay.

Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and messages here and in emails to me. I am not up to being online very long so replies will be slow. But, please know everything is much appreciated.

I Am Alive

All six bad teeth are out. I am told it went very well and everybody involved is very pleased. I slept through it. I am heavily medicated. Still numb in my lower jaw, chin, and lower lip which makes trying to drink water and take pills an interesting and messy experience.

I am told the next few days will be worse pain wise and I am not looking forward to that.

Just wanted to let one and all know I survived and hope to be online a little more tomorrow. I have a ton of email and messages on FB and whatnot so I know folks were letting me know they care. I do appreciate it and will work on reply, as I can over the weekend.

Thanks again, everyone.
