Another up date.
I met with the oral surgeon today for a check up. Everything looks great ,no sign of any infection. the sutures are healed and I have very litttle pain.
I have one more "dive" to go with the HBO therapy. I may have it extended as this pesky fistula is not quite healed yet. The doctor with the HBO threapy says that 30 dives is just a base number. They will go as many as they have to in order to get a wound to heal. I guess I'll have to wait and see what my insurance company says about it.
My partial plate should be done sometime next week. I go back to the oral surgeon in the middle of April to have a wisdom tooth extracted and another molar.
Regards,
John
