Hey Bill, would you believe that on the after care instructions they gave me, it said that if I ran out of gauze to use a teabag! I'm glad you told me this because on the 20th the rest come out so now I will know to try the teabag. Thanks.

To all: today was pretty good actually. no pain at all. Trying to eat anything or talking is weird but I'm doing good. Had some mashed potatoes for lunch and I'll have that again tonight. I did keep my other doctors appointment today. Have to go do tons of tests but just for routine stuff and have a mole removed on my back on the 27th. In California I was always griping about no health care unless you were a drug addict, baby machine or illegal. Now here they won't leave me alone!!!! Never happy huh Guess it will all be worth it in the end, I hope.

Best wishes, Nancy. Here's much hope that "no pain" continues.
Get as much rest as you can - take care of yourself.

Sure glad to hear that all went well, Nancy! Hang in there, and I'll bet when you get the new choppers, you'll be glad you had this done!

My former dentist told me that I ought to be glad he could do the procedure orally
