Ive been thru the scraping of the bone and its really not that bad. I chose to stay awake and just get a local for the procedure. It took maybe 2 minutes at the very most for the oral surgeon to scrap the bone and put a couple stitches in. Honestly it was one of the easier procedures Ive been thru. I would rather do the bone scraping than HBO any day.
Hang in there, you are past the worst of it.
PS... I moved Jewells original post over to a new thread in the Introduce Yourself section if you want to leave a reply for her.
