Just had my final surgery for my tooth implant. In fact the implant was done. The 'implant' is just the post screwed into my jawbone. The new tooth will be put on in Sept. As a crown. That part is covered by dental plan. The implant $3500 (!!) is not. Aigh!!
The periodontist also did a gum graft to fill in some of the bone loss gap from my tooth extraction last year.
Thank goodness I have a fake tooth 'flipper' on a play that covers the roof of my mouth. It acts like a bit of a bandaid and protects the place he took the gum graft from. It's pretty sore and would be awful if not protected.
I'm on soft foods only until Sunday or Monday. Today I put spaghetti bolognese in a blender with warm chicken broth and made 'spaghetti bolognese soup'. Ha ha. It was pretty good - tho it looked like ... (Vomit). Lol.
Here's my selfie. Not too swollen. Or not as awful as last time.
