Surgery and Robots
Jul. 31st, 2021 11:48 amI had surgery on my gums Wednesday. My new dentists were concerned by the bumps on my gums, so I was referred to a periodontist. After a checkup meeting, I was going to have the surgery next Wednesday but due to scheduling conflicts, the surgery happened two days later. I wasn’t put under but had parts of my mouth numbed out. I barely noticed the removal of the gum bumps and was more discomforted by the constant scrapping of a few of my right teeth, probably from the mess made by removing the bumps. At any rate, I have a dressing covering the bottom right of my gums and teeth. It feels strange but not uncomfortable, like having extra skin or chewing gum. The specialist told me the bumps weren’t cancer but might have negatively affected my teeth down the line. He also recommended I see an orthodontist about the arrangement of a couple of my teeth but indicated that it isn’t a super immediate concern. For now, I’ll be focusing on healing from the surgery and making do with eating out of the left side of my mouth.
That’s all for now. I’m still writing fanfic, but it might still be a while before the next chapters come up. Also I’m still struggling with my sleep schedule, so will go to bed in a hour or two after posting this. Until August’s end, see you!
