I just woke up from a long winters nap. I had the oral surgery yesterday afternoon. The only thing I remember is watching the IV drip for a minute or two, and then waking up in my bed.
I do not have much pain if any at all. Actually I feel a lot beter since I've had the teeth removed. I had four of my front teeth and one molar removed. I have a temporary bridge in now and will have my new partial plate put in in a few weeks. I have very litle swelling. It even seems as though I'm able to speak better now. I can pronounce sounds more clearly than I could before.
Now it's back to the HOB therapy on Monday to finish up my last 10 dives.
I'll let you guys know if anything else comes up.
Regards,
John
