The Post Op

Right before the surgery, the anesthesiologist said, "I'm just going to give you something to relax first."

I was dubious.  I've had issues with anesthesia in the past.  Sometimes it doesn't work well for me and I have to yell out during surgery, "I'm feeling this!"

So this time, I just took a deep breath and tried to relax.  I shut my eyes and when I opened them, the surgery was over.  Clearly, the Canadians are anesthesia pros.  Well done.

I'm feeling kind of puny today.  Kind of tired and my mouth is sore and swollen.  I started reading about success rates for dental bone grafts this morning.  The numbers are pretty good --- 85%. I just hope I'm not one of the minority of patients in the failure rate category. I wonder what they do for the 15%.  I'll read about that later.  There's only so much I can handle at one time.
