Hope you come through and recuperate well Anthony.

@anthony . Maybe some mashed potato and gravy. Man food.

 

[anthony]

My wife suggested mash yesterday... as I do love it, along with mashed pumpkin. I love sausages on either one.... I usually go for the pumpkin nowadays to remove the carb issue of potatoes.

Weirdly... I'm more swollen today than yesterday. I actually feel worse today.

 

[Flossy]

Yes, I think swelling rises to a peak 24-36 hours after a trauma. And because the traumatised area is surrounded by bone there is no leeway for tissues to expand to.

It might help support the area if you tie a scarf or cloth from under the chin up over the ears and to the top of your head. A little bit of compression might be soothing and help your body push the tissue fluids back into your bloodstream.

Prob, need to take a Digesic, sit in a warm darkened room and catch up on guy movies or a good series with trackies on.

Deadwood, Justified, True Detective. A good classic war movie is Fury with Brad Pitt.

A 'time-out' day.

Not likely to even begin to improve or stabilise until tomorrow night or Saturday morning.

My head is spinning with the shit I have to do at present. When it rains, it pours. Priorities, priorities...

 

[Tanishq]

Anthony, that's a lot of things. I hope your teeth is feeling better and healing today, I wish you a good evening ahead lot of nice treats.

@anthony May I suggest making a list. A big one. Up on the wall in chalk or on a big sheet of paper in nikko. So satisfying to cross one off and you get to choose the priorities because the task is more tangible when a word is in front of you...or you can draw a picture if your brain works better with pictures. It takes the pressure off my brain when I do it.

PS are you sure you want a rod drilled into your jaw? Are you sure a removable plate would not do the job?

I guess if it's visible when talking, the implant is a better long term solution. Makes me shudder to think of it.

 

[anthony]

It is visible, next to the front tooth. I think this will take about a year. He has to assess in four months whether the infection is fully gone. If so... then determine if enough bone is left or whether he has to get bone from elsewhere or fake grafting material will do the job.

Holy shit #

 

[anthony]

Argh... my dentist did tell me it would be a year long process, based on his experience with what I had. If it happened sooner, it was a bonus, is my understanding.

 

[Tanishq]

Nooooo Anthony!

Edit: I wish I knew something good to say in this particular situation which has arrived in your life Anthony.

 

[anthony]

My day went... whoosh___________ all gone, before I knew it. Kind of cruzie, but I also don't like it when I have things in my head that don't get a look in within a day.
