EXTREMELY GOOD NEWS!! Well, at least it’s extremely good news to me. I went to the dentist this morning for my first post op visit since my gum grafts, two and a half weeks ago. I was dreading this appointment. I’ve been worried about it ever since Friday evening, when I noticed some of the gum tissue sloughing off. I just knew my dentist was going to grill me about what I could possibly have done to ruin all his handywork, but he was very pleased. He said that he’d gotten 100% coverage on the roots of all four teeth he grafted tissue over. When I asked him about the gum tissue that I noticed had sloughed off, he explained that they always put a little bit extra tissue on in case some of it doesn’t make it. That way they still have the root covered even if it all doesn’t take hold. I can’t begin to tell you how relieved I am. All that effort, all that discomfort, and all that money . . . NOT wasted.

That is extremely good news! So glad that you are progressing in the right direction.
good news… yes, I should say so.
That dancing cow on the above comment is so great! I’m glad to hear you had good news at the dentist. That must have been quite an ordeal to have those grafts. I’m glad it took so well.
I want to go to sleep tonight and dream I’m living in that picture. The gardens are beautiful. Did you take the picture?
Yes, nixiegirl, I did take the picture.
