I did it and I'm glad
Jul. 5th, 2005 12:39 pmI went looking on the web for what to expect after my Dental stuff on Monday. All of the official sites allow as how I may experience some discomfort but that it will have been worth it. The credibility crack there is big enough to drive a large semi through.
So I kept looking and found Jon Wiley. His detail is horrible to read about but when I got through it I was so glad to know. He says he even after 10 days he was still able to eat only those things he could chew up really well. 10 days! I found a dental forum where a couple of people indicated that their recovery was a lot less of a deal except that they really suffered from teeth sensitivity - a lot and for a long time.
Obviously my plan to focus on other things and not worry about this until the time came has turned out to be not too much of a plan after all. So, I guess I'll just stress about it until next Monday. I guess the new plan is to not turn this journal into an all-dental-phobic-all-the-time read. So from now on - at least from now until Monday afternoon - teeth truths will be found in the white spaces between the lines... Then we'll have a new plan.
