Last Thursday I had some dental surgery that knocked me down for a few days. I had some gum disease that has caused bone loss and created a number of issues with my teeth. So I opted for the nuclear option and had them all yanked out and had 12 implants put in. I will be wearing ill fitting dentures until I am healed up enough to place the permanent new teeth.

As I enter the last half of my fifth decade I am happy that I will no longer need to worry about dental issues, it was an expensive option but I believe will be cheaper in the long run rather than dealing with each dental problem that comes up over the next twenty years. I should have a beautiful new set of teeth in a few months and will be able to smile for the first time in ten plus years.

Anywho that’s why I haven’t been posting anything, with the removal, swelling, and pain I haven’t felt like doing much of anything. I know I have taken more pills in the last two weeks than I have taken in my entire life combined, which I hate, but was certainly effective in knocking down the pain.

I told the dentist I would like the George Clooneys without the liberalism, he laughed then shoved a needle into the roof of my mouth, maybe I should have waited until after I was done before I show my political colors.

I’m much better looking than George so I have that going for me.
