Most of you know already what an ordeal I've been through because of that one unpopped kernel. Well, today I had to have the post implanted. I know this isn't such a big deal for most of you - although Donna Webster & Amy Harden will understand what I went through!
In the past, I've always warned doctors BEFORE they began a medical procedure and nothing has happened the past couple of times, so I didn't say anything to the Oral Surgeon, letting him think I was normal. Of course he found out otherwise. As soon as he finished & left the room, I started feeling nauseous so I got out of the chair to get some water. That was a mistake ...... I was so light-headed that I almost didn't make it back to the chair! That's when he walked back into the room. So then I had to stay reclined in the chair with a cool cloth on my head until I thought I'd convinced them I was fine. I'm not sure they believed it because they insisted on escorting me out to my car!
I think the worst is over now. I now have to wait 4 months before they can screw the new tooth in place. I forget why it takes 4 months......maybe to make sure I don't reject it or for it to adhere to the bone or something to that effect. Not sure I would have gone this route if I knew how long it would take (almost a year) and the pain/mental anguish involved.
