Joys of Oral Surgery --- An Update

Ok, so one would think that I should be doing much better than I am regarding the whole healing process from the gum grafting, but am still in quite a bit of pain and was unable to get much sleep last night. I had my follow-up appointment today. Satan (Supposed Oral Surgeon) explained that the healing process of the actual grafting will take a bit longer as she had to actually cut into muscles in my mouth. The Devil then added that she was pleased with the results -- there is no infection, but the roof of my mouth is not healing as fast as she would like.

So the remaining packing was removed and replaced with a medicated padding which feels like jagged wood when my tounge touches it. I will skip all the disgusting details, but the Evil One gave me 5 shots of novicaine (3 to the roof of my mouth and 2 to my lower gum line)
Am still not sure what was more painful --- the shots into the skinless roof of my mouth or the pain of her swabbing and attaching the jagged medicated pad.

I go back again next week. I hate her. I discussed with my dentist and he feels that this procedure is just "most uncomfortable" and that Lucifer is a fantastic perodontist (sp?) I just don't know. My teeth just suck --- however, I feel the need to let you know that they really don't look bad. After all my justified ranting I suspect that you will not believe me. oh well.
