For a day that started so early, yesterday sure did go by fast. . . and without any glitches, hangups, misadventures or whatever.
In case I didn't mention it, I had to set the alarm to wake up early because I had to take some medications two hours before my dental procedure. Sharon woke up before that and asked me if I'd forgotten to set the alarm. Oh well.
So I took my meds, an anti-biotic and an anti-anxiety, and ate a light breakfast before venturing out through the fog for my dental procedure. Because of the nature of the anti anxiety med it was necessary for Sharon to drive. . . I mean it was really necessary for her to drive.
I don't know what I had expected, but the procedure too nowhere near as long as I thought it would. In something like an hour the surgeon gave me a local anesthetic, jacked my mouth open wide enough to park a 747 and inserted four implants to anchor my lowers. About the on thing that was disconcerting about the whole thing was that they blindfolded be, but the anti-anxiety meds worked so well that I didn't care and the finished so quickly that I hardly noticed. About the only sided effect of the whole thing was that I couldn't seem to stay awake for the rest of the day. Once again there was no pain after the local anesthetic wore off.
I give thanks that once more I have managed to get through the aftermath of a surgical event without needing any pain medication. But then there are a number of things about yesterday that I don't remember.
I'm glad to hear it all went off so smoothly. Are you getting near the end of all the treatment now?
ReplyDeleteI hope. From here on out there should only be the healing process. That takes about four months.
ReplyDeleteI saw the dentist a couple of hours after the surgery. She was quite pleased with the outcome.
I shall keep my fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you demonstrated one of those intriguing differences between American English and British English. We would say "from here on in", but I think "out" is more logical.
I believe that we might say either, based entirely upon personal preference.
