My lovely spouse had oral surgery today. The earliest appointment she could get was at 1:30 p.m. She could have a light breakfast, but nothing past 7 a.m. She was actually a much better sport about it than I was when I had work done back in December. I know for a fact that I go cranky.
It was on a front tooth. A crown with a post broke off clean about a month ago. Today they cut what remained of that baby and did a bone graft. You would not believe how much fun this procedure brings to the recipient.
She was biting down on a wad of gauze. When she tried to talk, all I heard was mwa mwa mwa mwa. When I asked her to repeat, she said the same thing, only louder. I started shaking my head as if I understood her message and drove on toward the house.
I'd cleared it with my boss to work from home today and tomorrow. I'll keep a close eye on her progress. She's in pain, but she already feeling a little better.
I normally post my column from Sunday's paper, but his week's column was about our friend Louis. It was totally different from the blog entry I wrote last Sunday but I thought I'd leave that subject alone.

What a gosh-awful ordeal! Glad to hear you'll be right by her side through it all. (Ya, that's what good guys do.)
ReplyDeleteI am glad she is starting to feel a little better - and will have you around for the next couple of days.
ReplyDeletedental work is not for sissies.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure after going through with this yourself, you have a good understanding what she's going through. I hope she heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julia
I hate going to the dentist. Hope she gets to feeling better soon.

Glad your lovely wife is recovering and starting to feel better. That is one touchy subject for sure. There is some dental work in my future but I'm leaving well enough alone for now...I may regret the wait, but I'm ok for now.
ReplyDeleteUghhh...I feel so bad for your spouse and I hope today she is feeling even better. I am phobic with the dentist and have to go Thursday for just a cleaning. I know they will find a cavity because I see it myself. I think I would want to be put out for what your gal went through.
ReplyDeleteHoping for a quick recovery for Jilda. And the flower is incredible.
ReplyDeleteHope Jilda feels better soon!!
ReplyDeleteAw man, sending out best GET BETTER wishes and prayers to Jilda! BUT Like Emma, the flower is incredible!
ReplyDeleteI hope your lovely spouse recovers quickly and with as little pain as possible.
ReplyDeleteHeres hoping Jilda is feeling better really soon.
ReplyDeleteI do not like dental work but at least I don't freak out like my daughter does when it comes to seeing the dentist
ReplyDeleteTorture! Steve Martin made an excellent dentist in Little Shop of Horrors.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Jilda is gradually improving.
