As always, Mike has given you good dental advice and all our friends have chimed in as well. I really have nothing to add except that the bone in the area where you had the teeth out should be completely healed, even though you had an abcess and a dry socket.
I haven't been ignoring you. I got an email from Donna telling me that you were asking for help. I had just come home from spending three hours in the emergency room of Will's Eye Hospital in Philadelphia. Although I am having trouble seeing the computer well, I did look for a new post from you. I guess my vision was worse than I thought as I missed this thread. I haven't been back to the forum till now. I had a vitreous detachment and I have an eye full of floaters and specks of blood floating around. I see my local retinologist tomorrow. Not sure if I can work until this clears up.
I look forard to hearing good results from your biopsy.
