I continue to be bad at updating, but the long and short of it is, I DID get the tooth out, and a bone graft was done, and now it's been almost a month and by the end of the week, the surgeon thinks the hole in my mouth should be closed up.

He said when I had the stitches out two weeks ago (ow!) that it's healing up well, and in three and a half months, I go back to have it looked at again and see if I can get the implant or what next.

I got to be unconscious. Lovely, lovely blackness, going to dark with a tooth in and resurfacing with a tooth out and no memory of anything in between.

As I was waiting to go under, there was a guy moaning loudly in the next room in pain and G and I looked at each other like...fuck, that is NOT what we need to be hearing right now. Closed the door and tried not to think of it.

I bled for 12 hours after, before it finally stopped. It hurt...but the pain was manageable enough. 

It's still hard to chew on that side of my mouth, in fact I'm not really doing that yet so eating isn't exactly pleasurable but I'm getting there.

It seriously set back my eating better and exercising more plan by a month, which peeves me, but...I mean...it had to be done.
