Ouch


Well one more step down, went yesterday and had the 8 teeth out and am currently sporting nice new teeth. Yesterday was a bad day but I think today I'm doing pretty good. Sat with ice on the face yesterday, and just spend some time cleaning everything and am pretty happy with what has healed in 24 hours.
So another step down and closer to the transplant list. I have 2 weeks off and the go back to Pero for the gum surgery and bone grafts once a week. I'll put it politely .... what a pain in the @%^ but all good.
One step at a time. One step closer to the big goal, getting back on that transplant list.
What a eye open experiences this has been.

I had the teeth extraction done, bleed that Monday the had about 3 or 4 good day then had another 3 days of uncontrollable bleeding. Finally the learned the was 3 pills I was on that all acted as blood thinners. I am now removed from them. The bummer is one of them as a pain killer I take.
I'm trying to get a handle on this so when I start the next procedure on the 16th and that will be once a week for 4 weeks. This is going to be so much fun....

The saga continues....


Thank you all so much.

Again Many thanks so all for the well wishes, it keeps me going. I'm off at 10 am to have the first of four bone graphs done on my jaws and gums. I made it threw the pulling of the teeth and let me respectfully say that was NOT a good time. So here I go again, after the bleeding issues I had on the last one I'm at least happy to hear he will be stitching me tomorrow, the part I'm really looking forward to is this too has to be done under a local.

Anyhow, I'm off to bed soon but so many have ask what was going on and I wanted to share an update. Man I'm really getting sick of jello and pudding lol.
Thanks all. :thankyou:

I hope everyone realizes that you are also doing this with very little pain relief.
You are my hero Al.

Very true,3 more weeks of this, The teeth was the real bad day, on a scale of 1 to 10 that was off the charts.... today was about a 7 or 8 on the scale.


My thoughts are with you Al... hang in there... and pass the Jello please! :covereyes:
