Wishing you all the very best of luck with your surgery on Monday. It sound exactly like the one I had (4 teeth removed for me) and definitely not as extensive as Christine�s.
It is fantastic that you have a great team that you have faith in. I went in to my operation with very little understanding of what was going to happen. Maybe that was not a bad thing either..hard to say now!
My operation was in early September, first social occasion end of October, back at work November all be it reduced hours.
You should be fine for your trip in May so keep thinking of that if you get a little down those first days in hospital.
PM me your number if you want me to call and have a chat over the weekend.
Love
Gabriele
