Thanks Diane. I go see surgeon tomorrow for regular check up and we have list of questions. I have learned everyone is different in their recovery and healing is a slow process. This site is umbeatable as most have made the journey is some form or fashion. I am not satisfied with a few mouth issues and I'm concerned about future dental conditions but will hold off until after visit tomorrow.
