No one explained to me what that meant the first time I had it and the sad thing is that I'm still not a faithful flosser. After reading this post of what you have to endure for the surgery, I think I'd better get back to flossing regularly. Good luck to you, I hope your recovery goes well.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-48800757515483473772009-06-24T11:35:26.494-04:002009-06-24T11:35:26.494-04:00Been there.

You will be able to enjoy the soft, no-chewing foods purchased with some (a minor portion, I'm sure) of your spending. And you'll never have a better excuse to indulge in ice cream for breakfast.<br /><br />You were quite right in NOT looking at the online photos of your procedure. This is definitely one of those cases where too much information is to be avoided. Self image is a fragile fantasy…<br /><br />I do hope you're feeling at least a bit better now, this comment being a day late. It wasn't fun, I'm sure—but it's over, the problem fixed, and you can now move on, though not right away…first take the time to pamper yourself a bit.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-86462517537150406342009-06-23T06:45:20.481-04:002009-06-23T06:45:20.481-04:00Oh Donna.... ugh.

HA! I had stocked up on so many soft foods that I didn't suffer at all.<br />Examples of soft foods: soups (e.g. Italian Wedding Soup); yogurts; smoothies; bananas, peanut butter; scrambled eggs. It is quite amazing how much you can eat without chewing--that's the key.<br />Philip--you do bring up a good point. We have access to excellent dental care AND my husband's dental insurance, which covers me, is excellent.<br />So--thanks for all your good wishes and sympathy. I am really not suffering much. I do have high-powered ibuprofen if pain starts up. And I have been keeping ice on my face.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-50778645235933059292009-06-22T22:21:03.069-04:002009-06-22T22:21:03.069-04:00Oh, poor Donna!

I'm sure the treatment and surgery have gotten much better since then!<br /><br />Not brushing will be hard. I'm sure you must be able to rinse your mouth out with salt water or baking soda water? <br /><br />Hope your pain (if you have any) is minor and dissipates quickly!possumladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060146825196164963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-23949971410211182692009-06-22T22:12:18.016-04:002009-06-22T22:12:18.016-04:00Lucky you!
