Dana,

Yes, I did have swelling the first night this time. Last time, it was a few days before the swelling showed up.

Take care,
Kathy

Re: Dana, How did your gum graftging go?

Hi Kathy,

I'm a little more coherent at the moment, so I thought I'd write you.

We had the blinding rain and rain on the way but I took 2mg. of the xanax, so I was pretty out of it, also had the gas which I think was wonderful, you won't believe it, but I told him to go ahead and do the eight! He said I was looking at a another year if I waited so I just did it, He was very good, he told me when the worst shot would come, and it wasn't too bad, no swelling or bruising hopefully it will stay that way, and I have been vigilant about the ice. I think this guy is really good, my husband and I thought he could have better with the aftercare instructions though.


I'm on durvocet, didn't want the percocet, so far so good, had a bunch of ice cream and mashed potato, maybe that helped even though I wasn't real hungry.

I rinsed this morning, and brushed the upper a little and when the clot came out, boy my tongue was on fire!! He said he wants it out at noon today, to start the healing process, but put it in for eating and sleeping. Did you do that? (the retainer)

How about the bottom should I brush around the area or just leave till next week when I see him?

Glad you're doing better, you give me hope, so glad!!! it's over with though!!
I kept waking up thinking I can't believe it's done!!

Thanks gain for your support, and glad you're coming along, let me know if you think of anything else! I'll be lying around most of the day.

Thanks,

Dana

Re: Dana, How did your gum graftging go?

Dana,

Glad the electricity didn't got out on your surgery yesterday!! It's good to get the 8 out of the way. I'm glad your dr. was so good and thoughtful! Mine is definitely lacking in the compassion department. Last year when I told him I had never experienced such pain and I had such trouble eating, he only said "it doesn't look like you lost any weight to me". Huh! I only weighed 100 lbs. last year, yet he made it sound like I had fat to live on for years, hahaha

I can't believe you've had ice cream! Just the thought of that makes me still cringe (the roof of my mouth is really sore). Nothing too hot, cold, rough, or chewy has been my criteria this week for eating (doesn't leave much!!)

I'm not sure what you mean by clot and retainer. Those are two things I didn't have (I have a retainer from wearing braces but it will be at least a month before I try that insanity on this mouth. LOL!)

My dr. told me I could brush the teeth but not the gums. That was almost impossible for me to do the first few days (I don't know if my bottom teeth or real little or what, but I didn't want to take the chances with tearing out stitches). It is VERY helpful to get a child size toothbrush (soft or extra soft) and brush VERY GENTLY when you try it.

I'm glad you were able to sleep! That is something I did not do either time the first night! Glad you are doing so well.

Take it easy!
Kathy
