Surgery Yesterday
Well everything went fantastically. And thanks to Tivo Ive caught up on all the episodes of CSI I had recorded!
He was able to place the titanium rod instead of doing more bone grafting meaning several good things:
1) No more surgeries. Next I go to the dentist in a couple of months and get a crown put on the metal rod and then im done. Forever.
2) Less surgeries mean less money out of my poket. Hooray!
3) He didnt have to go all the way up to my jaw to place bone graft so he was able to make a much smaller cut
4) Smaller cuts also means better faster recovery. I didnt even need pain killers and im going back to work early so I can take my vacation days another time.
5) Aparently the seditive they gave me during the surgery was Valium. ...
...
.....
GO VALIUM!! I usually rarely understand why some drugs are so awesome to people as the negative side affects usually out weight the positive ones. I can, however, understand why some people could get addicted to this. Especially if you were really stressed/ couldnt sleep/ or just plain didnt want to face the world. Not going to go looking for it tho any time soon. I do like to be able to operate heavy machinery :P
Next I have to focus on the my brother's wedding and cleaning for the relatives. After that I need to finish Labrynth costume asap....
