Has anyone had a dental implant? I had the surgery to insert the post on Monday. Something happen with the threading of the post and a 2 hour surgery became a 4.5 hour surgery. It was awful. It is now 6 days later and I am still on pain pills. I am coming in way under on my calorie count but with a sore throat, jaw pain and nausea I really don't want to eat. I am worrying a bit that I am messing up my metabolism but then my jaw throbs and I don't care. Today though was the first day that the little white flag voice of surrender starting whispering you could just go and buy coffee ice cream. You really like coffee ice cream. It would be like an internal ice pack. I haven't done it but I don't even like having those thought. Life is feeling hard right now.
