Hi, I went to get reevaluated today with another oral surgeon prior to having two more teeth extracted before Tx begins. The oral surgeons were awesome, made me feel very comfortable and were thourough with their exam as well as explaining and answering any questions I had.
Im having two molars on my right lower jaw removed this Friday...oh joy....This really sucks. The surgeon was surprised at how immaculate my teeth were...really sad to lose them. I just hope all of this will be that extra insurance I need to keep the cancer away.
Anyhow, I went and turned in my pre-op paperwork and had to speak with an anethesiologist afterwards. I can tell you if he shows up in the op room on Friday, Ill be rescheduling my surgery. He lacked personality....no biggie a lot of doctors do lol. But, he goes on to say how worst case scenerio I could die or next to worse wake up with a trach since I cant open my mouth very far since my surgery in Oct. BTW the ent said they would have NO PROBLEM whatsoever opening my mouth for me when I was out lol. He was really lucky I didn't go off on him. I had to shrug my shoulders and laugh my way out the door. Im having teeth pulled, I had MUCH more extensive surgery last month...the only thing that really scares me about this surgery is retramatizing my jaw and the pain. This guy really bugged me tho...like I said...if he shows up in there on Friday, Ill refuse to have him do my anesthesia or Ill reschedule.
