This is post # 3460
Implant Thursday. The upshot is, that this is no more painful or disruptive than getting a filling or ..... death. Of course, to cover their heinies, the warnings include excessive bleeding etc. etc etc.
Ouch ! Is today's byword.
After the surgery, the story.
Alright, I'm swollen and puffy. Discomfort not pain
But Dr said, pain is coming - " take your meds !!!! "
Dr had to refreeze my mouth during the 2 hrs, I could start to feel the grinding - all was more than tolerable
Cold and soft is the regimen for days. Yoghurt here we come. And I bought 2L at Costco
Let there be gin..... massive amounts. I'll be fine
Realizing. Instead of one hole to plug - there were two holes. One was a tooth extraction and implant and the other an implant. The X ray looks like a warped board [ jaw bone ] w/ two screw anchors [ like in woodwork ].
So. The bleeding stops in 20 hrs [ we hope ].
Pain persists for 3 days [ we hope ]
No hot food for 72 hrs. My diet is yoghurt, jello etc.
Can this boy get through 2L of yoghurt.
Talk about a diet ! Whoa, kickstart some weight loss action.
The upside - ice cream. Yes.
Betcha that I don't lose a #. We are talking real ice cream, called ' Cream First ' got the picture !
Note: 10:30 P and I still am ' oozing ' a little blood.
Goodnight, we hope
