1. Recovery day. The discomfort above my mouth and below my eye settled down. I rested. Napped. Enjoyed Copper's company. Rinsed my mouth with salt water every time I ate or drank anything (besides water).
I had a good day.
I think I'm on the right track as I give the crater in my mouth the care and attention it requires.
2. Kristin from Complete Dental Care called me to make sure everything is all right. I told her I was doing very well. I had a question about the numbering of my upper right molars and her clear answer made perfect sense and gave me a fuller and better understanding of Tuesday's extraction.
I also had a very helpful exchange via the patient portal, with my transplant nurse coordinator, Jenn. I had questions about antibiotics and infection prevention, not only related to Tuesday's extraction but also to next Thursday's dental cleaning appointment and I'm confident everything is in good order.
3. Debbie texted me, wondering if I'd like her to bring us home some dinner.
My response?
PLEASE!
After work, she dropped in at GarrenTeed BBQ and I was blown away by how delicious the brisket, macaroni and cheese, and baked beans were that she ordered for me.
My post-extraction morale is in great shape thanks to rest, napping, salt water, Tylenol, antibiotics, probiotic yogurt, probiotic kefir, Kristin, Jenn, Debbie, Copper, and GarrenTeed BBQ!
