Dental surgery

[judy]

My mouth is healing, but I don't know if this worked. The gum that they transplanted is white, which doesn't seem good to me. If the transplant took, there would be blood flow and it would be pinker.

It worked, it worked, it worked. If I keep saying it, maybe it will be true

It's just hard to eat and the roof of my mouth hurts if anything touches it. I don't even need aspirin though. I just have to be careful not to touch any of it.

Oh, Judy, so hope that it works!!!!!! When do you go back for them to check it?

[Janet]

I'm hoping it worked too my friend. I wish you didn't have any kind of pain, but if it hurts too bad...take something. How long will there be any kind of discomfort? Hope you heal quickly.

[judy]

It really is not bad at all. I don't need to take anything for it. I just have to be careful not to touch anywhere they did work.

I'm going back on Friday. He's taking out the stitches, and I'm getting another Junk Food Day.

Thanks for being such good friends!!!

I sure hope that your gum transplant works. I'm sure that you're ready to be done with all of this. Hugs.

Junk Food Day

Hope all is well.. how did it go??

The thoughts of what you went thru gives me chills!! I am so very proud of you for going thru such a procedure..

I have already told my dentist no more heroic methods to save my teeth.. I am terrifed of the dentist... have to take a valium and a drink just to get thru the cleaning. Yet I go 4 times a year. Twice as much as anyone I know. I have struggled all my life with my teeth. I hate to say I am looking forward to the day my dentist agrees with me and says, lets pull'em and give you a great smile!!

Bravo to you Judy.

[Janet]

I'm terrified of the dentist too Shada. I really need to go. They are so good to me....put me in a relaxing chair, give me funny gas and numb me. I ask for all of it..lol and that's just for a cleaning. I'm gonna have to go soon though, been having a toothache for awhile...not bad, but anoying.

Judy...I just don't know how you do it. I wish I was as brave as you. I bet your smile is the prettiest.

I thought about you while I was getting my teeth cleaned today. I hope everything goes well!

[Marilyn]

Judy, so hope that all is going well!!!!

Hi Sandy! How have you been? I haven't seen you on here lately. I hope everything is okay.

I didn't go to the dentist on Friday. I just was not in the mood for the long drive.
I took whatever stitches were still intact and snipped them. I think there is one left. I probably have to go down either Friday or Monday. I still don't think it worked.

I'm good - I've been around - just took a break from posting.

Keep us updated!

I was wondering how your appointment went too. I'm praying that everything heals well so you can be done with all of this.

When I was little we went to an old army doctor for our dental work. He was soooo rough. I had some teeth pulled once and I remember him literally standing on my chair with a pair of pliers!!!! I cried when I had to go back and do the other side!!!

I hate going to the dentist but I like having my own teeth so we go once a year. Glen complains but his teeth aren't very good and he really needs to go. Sometimes he has to go a couple of times a year. His parents both had false teeth in their twenties. I keep reminding Glen that at least he still has his teeth and then he doesn't fuss at me so much. I always say that the day of my dental appointment is my favorite day......because it's a WHOLE year before I have to go back!!!!!

[Marilyn]

Judy, please keep us posted. I'm praying that it is taking after all, and if not that there is something they can do to that will work better. So hope this is all over for your very, very soon!!!!
