Mouth Repair

As much as I regret, need to write about my. latest travail.  As a result of my recent fall, two front teeth were damaged beyond repair and had to be removed with a plan for the future to replace them.  Went yesterday to the oral surgeon to get the job done.  After a really sore day yesterday, this morning emerged not feeling too bad.  I have always been a vain person conscious of my appearance.  As of this morning, all I need is an eye patch and a parrot on my shoulder to look like a crusty pirate.  Now resigned to soft foods like scrambled eggs, yogurt and pudding, I will get through the next 5-6 weeks of recovery to move to the next phase. 

My surgeon, a Dr. Singer and his team did a great job on the extraction. His suturing was quite effective and the result was a sealed up job.  I was most pleased about that.  The assistants were chatty and worked on a leaving my nervousness.  Nitrous gas was suggested.  They put this thing on my nose turned it on and my fears were washed away.  I need to get a tank of this stuff installed in the apartment.  Any anxiety, with a hit of this stuff,  the world is a beautiful place. It's much better than cannabis,  with no sore throat.  

Judy is off taking the juniors to school and I have completed my breakfast.  Get yourself some "Everything but the Bagel" seasoning.  It enhances damn near everything you put it in.

No photo of me, look too hideous.  Going to visit my primary doc this morning to show her my banged up body.

All for now

Stay safe
