Everything went well at the follow up on Tuesday. It had to be on Tuesday because Michelle had to go down to St Louis to see her hubby off to Indiana for a few weeks before he ships out to Iraq. Dentist took out the two stitches he had to put in, and assured me the right side is healing just a bit more slowly due to the bone chips still in. However, a few nights ago I managed to pull a bone chip out on my own. Which works because it was the bone chip that I kept catching with my top teeth. As of right now, Monday morning my top teeth are coming out. Which means I was right. One spot on my gums on the right side is still sore, but otherwise I am mostly pain free, so just in time for the extractions on Monday. But, once the pain is over, it will be better. Now it's just getting my dang gums to heal so I can get fitted for the dentures.
