Got a Gum Graft

As my regular readers know, I took a "bloggy break" due to the gum graft I had last Friday.

Not that anyone is wondering, but I thought I would share that the procedure went fine.

Tomorrow morning I have an appointment to get the stitches taken out of the roof of my mouth. The packing that initially covered up these stitches fell off a couple days ago, so I've been able to feel the stitches. Very annoying. I can hardly wait to have them removed.

The stitches for the graft itself dissolve on their own.

As for future gum grafts? I think four is enough. Sometimes I wonder if our ancestors had the right idea: Take the teeth out, get dentures, and be done with it!
