I just had oral surgery.
I had two holes drilled in my lower jaw with several drills, including the "dense bone drill," and two titanium implants torque wrenched into my jaw, then sutures on both sides of each cavity. I have to bite down on gauze wads and change them out every half hour until the bleeding stops. The first three sets were saturated with blood. Two Vicodin and a fair amount of pain. Soup broth tonight if I'm up to it and mushy food for several days. I thought this was going to be easy.
