Continuing saga of blood and surgery

[dr_kromm]

So today I hit another milestone in the epic that is my recent dental surgery: One of the massive dressings fell off. Now to be honest, I'm hating those, and the sooner the rest leave my mouth, the sooner I'll be able to talk and swallow properly. But . . . four days is a little on the early side, so I had to drop everything and run to my dentist. Who basically told me, "Yeah, that's early, but whatever. It happens. You're fine." Oh, well. I needed the two 30-minute walks in icy winter air anyway.

What is it with dental semi-emergencies this season? Moe had a minor one last month that expanded itself just before Thanksgiving.

I'm switching to a yogurt and oatmeal diet. Bah.

At any rate, you end up on that if you do go. Minus the oatmeal, of course, because it's hot, and hot doesn't mix with dental surgery. I'm discovering which hot things aren't so bad cool . . . oatmeal isn't one of those things.
