Gum Grafting. Not one of life's most enjoyable experiences. In fact, Friday night I remember thinking that I would rather have another baby then have this done again. Mostly because having a baby doesn't mess with your ability to eat. And I do enjoy eating.
I remember a dentist years ago, telling my parents that I would need to have my gums grafted someday. Well, Friday was that day. I was so nervous, there was a lot of anxiety going on that day for me. I am not a fan of the dentist. Which is really quite ironic knowing the amount of work that I've had done over the past 10 years. Even getting my teeth cleaned every 6 months, really makes me cringe. But, anyways, Friday I had my first (and not final) gum grafting. Friday was not an enjoyable day after the procedure, there was a lot crying. But, I awoke Saturday feeling a lot better. And as long as I take my Motrin when needed, I do just fine. I'm able to eat somewhat normal food, just cut up real small as though I am giving it to Eli. Bryant left for L.A. on Saturday, the day after the procedure, which I was really scared about, but we are doing just fine. I am definitely not looking forward to the next procedure (whenever that is). But, one thing is for sure... I will warn the dentist that after my first procedure on Friday that I passed out at the reception desk. It may be best to give him a heads up that my head will probably be going down.
