There was a mix up some how. The dentist was supposed to put the teeth in right after taking the real ones out in stead he just pulled them and sewed up the gums leaving in pieces of tooth and bone and cartilage to work there way out. In fact the teeth had even been left in his office, so now I have to go see the nearest dentist and see what she can do or wait for the pieces to work there way out. I have got most of them out but I think this calls for some professional help. It also means that I will have to wait for the gums to heal before I can have the teeth fitted. (lined) Instead of having the gums fit them. I know mistakes happen with booking but I am not happy with this. There also is little I can do. I will see what My dentist can do to fix the mess this guy made. I have nothing to relate it to since I have never had this done before. All I know is people have said it was not supposed to be like this. I will see what tomorrow brings. On the other hand the guy in the next bed had all his pulled and is waiting for his gums to heal before he gets his teeth made. Maybe I did it wrong.
Yes I will be on soft food like mashed potatoes and blender stew, but it is not so bad. I'm tired of jello and ensure already. The worst part is I have Lasagne in the freezer and I am not putting that in the blender. Already I miss bacon, and sausages. Never mind celery and cheese or carrot sticks. How about a nice grilled cheese sandwich. My face is black and blue and I look like I have been using it to clean the chimney. I look like the God Father with a three day beard. Kind of sound like him too.
At least I can breath through my nose again and swallow, but my lips are still fat and peeling now. It will get better I'm sure, just a bit depressing. I should have checked to see if he had the initials DVM after his name.
Maybe it is supposed to be this way, maybe I'm just whining here. Well I'm allowed to whine too I think. See I feel better already. Like panic this to shall pass.
Good to have friends who care, it makes it so much easier.

Ps Wednesday I get tests to make sure the infection in the jaw has not spread and the antibiotics are working. In fact that was the reason I was given for not putting in the plastic teeth. It just doesn't make sense to me. Three more weeks with this cast on too. Glad it is not summer that would add to the misery. Sutures are annoying too.
