Clint had oral surgery Wednesday. Talk about trauma. This guy hates bodily invasion of any kind. He won't go to the Doctor or Dentist unless he absolutely has to. This time was one of those. He has a prosthetic front tooth that had come loose, and he went in to get it recommended. Instead, they found a crack in the root that was causing infection, and said the root would have to be removed and replaced with a steel implant set into his jawbone, which will then have to heal for 6 months before they can put in a new tooth. So this was step one, removal of the root and installation of the implant. They did icky things like cut a piece of the roof of his mouth off to use as a cover over the site of the root removal.
Poor guy. His gums, mouth, teeth, sinuses, and head all hurt. The dentist said everyone was different, and he could not say whether Clint would be able to work the next day. After half a day in bed, he tried going fishing, figuring it was less taxing that work, and came home sicker than ever with a thumping headache. Today he tried working, same thing happened. He can't eat much, can't smile. I can't believe the surgeon did not prepare him better for how out of commission he was going to be. Clint hates the fact that he's gets to pay $3000 for the privilege of receiving this torture.
