Hope all goes well Monday....
I just have to celebrate for a second! I never in a million years would have imagined being here at this amount of time, and it's amazing! I couldn't have done it without the support and help on the forum so I wanted to say Thank You ALL for being so welcoming, friendly, helpful, and knowlegeable! I am SO grateful!
For newcomers, if you follow the advice of really seasoned members on the forum, you will find yourself succeeding! I would have failed the first day if I hadn't gone... Hmm... something isn't working... And found this forum. I am truly grateful and can't even believe this day came! I already feel insanely better healthwise and yesterday I was busily talking to my favorite brother on the phone, and telling him how great I felt, how fantastic it was, and how I could SING again! He's a musician, I was for awhile, but I do like to sing and am enjoying the guitar more than the violin... In fact, he and I agreed to resume guitar lessons via skype, so I'm really excited
Monday will be a big test, oral surgery was moved to then. It's really... ominous when the receptionist calls and says, "So, the periodontist has reviewed your records and decided we need more than 2 hours, can we move you to Monday?" Yikes (I'm doing it awake). Maybe he'll let me vape through my nose, halfway through, LOL, though I doubt it. I'm all prepared though, I got nicotine patches, a ton of advil, and I plan to just.... Pass out a lot, afterward. And, vape Nose to Lung.
But YAY and THANK YOU, ECF! You guys are the best. Really. Thank you.

You know the best cure for a headache is to whack your big toe with a hammer. Then you won't think a thing about the headache....you forget how much it hurts.
Congrats Anna! Your training wheels are officially off and the bike is going down hill fast![emoji106]Nah, I'm having titanium posts inserted and bone shaving/evening, as well as removal of an infected post and digging out bad bone, as well as taking out an upper post that went up into my sinus, and possibly another that's exposed. I will have an entire row of stitches in the top of my mouth and the bottom, all the way around. Sigh.
It's not the vaping that's the problem, it's the suction. I am not taking *any* chances this time, and I've already practiced vaping through my nose.Though, my gum health was markedly better when I went to my last post-surgery checkup, that's why periodontist is doing it, and I'll have the patch if my nose gets irritated/I need more nic. I plan to put my dentures in 0 times for the first week, because I think that's how one of them went bad (rubbing) so I've also laid in a bunch of ensure/soup.
At least it's not going to be like the time I got all my teeth out (there were 24 of them).Post surgery on that was... Well, it's kind of like childbirth, you forget how much it hurts. I did f/u with my doc the day after (the periodontist begged me to) and he took a look at my pumpkin head all wrapped in a bunch of freeze-packs and he said, "Um... I could prescribe you some percocet if you *want* but nothing's going to fix that really, I'm sorry," LOL. I turned him down and kept taking advil. I'm.... a bit of a veteran of Tooth surgery like in the old days (though thank goodness for novacane and advil).

That's why I have 14 tanks.[emoji6]If you continue to vape for as long as it takes to read your posts, you will never go back to smokes[emoji12]
