Yesterday, I had 3 sesame seed sized pieces of bone that had formed a triangular shaped shard and worked their way through the surface of my lower gum removed. The dental surgeon also scraped my jawbone to make it smooth. Last night, I took 2 regular strength Tylenol pills and the usual muscle relaxant to help me sleep. And sleep I did, from 10 pm until 930 this morning. I awoke fairly refreshed, but my jaw,at the site of the removed shard, was still a little tender, so I took one more Tylenol. Tomorrow, I have an appointment to get my lower denture relined .it will be the second soft reline appointment . I expect some discomfort during the appointment, but I’m sure I can deal with it. The following day at 3 pm, I’m going to high tea with my mother and my husband to celebrate our birthdays that happened this month . And I’m doing all of this while disabled. I’m writing this to prove that I’m a lot stronger than I was, even a year ago. Or even 7 months ago when my New years resolution was to work on my health. I’m bound and determined to get even healthier by 2025. So I will be strong enough to take a much needed trip.
