Carol went in Wednesday for suture removal. They didn't remove sutures as she's not able to open her mouth wide enough for them to remove the sutures from the back. They told her the sutures would dissolve. She had a piece of tooth they had missed (??!!), the Dr. had pulled it causing pain. Carol told me she almost hit him! I told her she should have, he would have believed her when she told him she was in pain! And maybe he would be more careful with other patients! grin Carol grew up with 5 older brothers...she can pack a wallop!

We're off to meet Carol's MO this morning. First visit with him since Carol's diagnosis 1/5.
