We were told to have any damaged or questionable teeth removed prior to tx. Bob's teeth had always been very healthy, so it was decided to leave them. I think at least the wisdom tooth should have removed because it has more potential for developing problems.

Just spoke to nurse at RO - HBO consultation is being set up. The nurse was encouraging. She assured me that they have dealt with cases that turned out well.

Second oral surgeon consult in AM.
