And it was a bit more "interesting" than normal...
We seem to have scared my Dentist rather badly, when we quit breathing...
Could not breath... making a sound like a badly clogged drain... started turning a nice shade of purplish red... and The Dentist was at a bit of a loss.... he quit and called my Step-mother to come and get me... Breathing evened back out after a bit... and he was then able to extract two more teeth (with very long root...) the one he finally got out he had to use a pair of channel-locks (well over a foot long) looked like a tool for a plumber... So, a bit of a "stressful" visit...
Just checked...he removed Three not just two...
ReplyDeleteGood grief! Are you okay now?
DeleteRested as Dentist told me... bleed from the bottom ones (Broken roots...) he had to cut gums and extract the bits of their roots...
Delete... More painful for now... we have had worse...
Thank you for your concern, good Sir..
Well, glad you're okay after that ordeal! I've only ever had two teeth extracted and neither one was a pleasant experience.
ReplyDeleteActually, three, now that I think about it. But one molar was so loose and wiggly from bone loss in my jaw that it practically jumped out of my mouth by itself, lol.
DeleteWell we have only three more trips to Dentist before we have No teeth... already con eat very few things about to try Jell-o My breakfast we could Not even eat.... and the Coffee was badly Burnt (very bitter after-taste)
Deleteno,dear Lady Debra, these we in there well attached... the stitches of the lower two (had to slice gums several times to reach its remaining roots... Thank you for your concern... Have a pleasant day.
Now sipping on a cup of Coffee (from that which we made last night...) old , but Not Burnt... My good Friend dropped by and bought us a 6-pack of Ensure... (was worried about my nutritional aspect for the next few days... Good to have Friends...
DeleteO, Stacey....so sorry for the unpleasant and hurtful trip to the dentist....I am about to have all my top teeth pulled...they are all loose from bone loss...the bottom teeth seem ok...I am NOT looking forward to false uppers but...it is what it is...maybe you can drink beef and chicken broths to help you keep strength thru all this....
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to being able to eat my two (simple) cheese Burgers (from McDonalds)...
Deleteand we have Puddings (for tomorrow... do not want to get any food particles in the larger hole in bottom jaw...
You should have seen how badly my breathing attack scared him...
Yikes, man! I just had a little dental work done and it was certainly not pleasant but yours sounds way worse. Prayers and well wishes that you recover well!
ReplyDeleteWe were expecting today to hurt much worse than yesterday... (that is How this usually works)... but actually Less pain today...
DeleteThus, one time that we are glad to have been wrong
