This has been a week end of “Honey Do’s”. Not just for my husband . . . for both of us. He had his list of chores to do and I had my list of things I wanted to get done and we did it all plus went to some friends house on Saturday evening for a delightful dinner.
I’m having gum surgery Wednesday, and I just felt it was important to get all my “to do’s” done before then. Who knows how perky I’ll feel afterward. If it’s anything like when I had my tooth implant, I won’t be a happy camper for several weeks. But I don’t think it’ll be the same as that experience. I kind of think I might lose weight again, because the dentist said that I’d be on a liquid diet for a couple weeks until the gums heal up. I’m worried mostly though, about the roof of my mouth, because that’s where they get the tissue from to graft to my gums. YUCK. Makes me sick just thinking about it.

Me too. I’m a dental phobic. Good luck.
:( I’m sorry to hear you have to have gum surgery! I too, shy away from dental procedures but sometimes the responsible thing to do is also the most unpleasant. It’s a heck of a diet but I know you’ll appreciate the results afterwards. :heartbeat:
Do you have a deep freeze? Cooking a lot of soup ahead? Doesn’t sound like a comfortable procedure. I hope it goes well. :goodjob:
Prayers to you for your gum surgery……..that it will heal quickly. I for one would be dreading it since I really dislike going to the dentist!
I hope all goes well for you with the surgery. I just had a good check-up from my dentist. I just about couldn’t even read about your gum surgery. :eek: I have been known to pass out at the dentist’s before. I even passed out when I took my sister to the dentist to have her wisdom teeth pulled, and they had to call our mother to come get us both. (And, this was after I was an adult.)
Well I certainly could stand a liquid diet, except I’d make it milk shakes and we know just how much sugar is in those.
Good luck Chris, I’ll be thinking about you but not the actual work as I don’t look good sittin in a permanent cringe.
I hope your gum surgery goes well today..ouch!! Hopefully you’ll be feeling well before too long.
I hope your surgery went well today and you get a good night’s sleep.
