I'm sitting here munching on salt and vinegar potato chips....why???? They are irritating my lips and tongue! I have to stop eating them!!! Awe heck, just one more!
Went to the oral surgeon today and I was seen right away....amazing! I'm not sure why but I think because there was another couple in the waiting room that they let me go right in to an exam room...it's anyone on chemo that they don't want you with other people - germs!
Anyway, the oral surgeon looked at my gums and said they looked real good and I am possibly ready for a bridge...he said to call my regular dentist to see if he agrees. I have an appointment on the 3rd of August. Now I wonder how long that will take to make a bridge and 'install' it!
I also asked what the report was regarding the cyst...he said there was 'no evidence' of any malignancy while I was getting out of the chair. As I went to get my pocketbook he hesitated a second and said ' 0h wait....and said...evidence...hesitated again and said that the word 'no' was there and he had initialed over it....I almost had a heart attack! He saw my expression and I think he was ready to hug me...but apologized for reading it wrong. I think I aged 10 years! All is good!
I'm still not sure if I want to start taking the meds for the numbness in my fingers....it scares me...I finally have some energy and feel really good. I would hate to start being tired again and dizzy to top it off. I'm not sure if my fingers are getting better. I have tingling in the tips of my fingers but the tips of my nails are numb. Maybe I will wait another day or two. This med is also used for seizures and shingles.
