Monday afternoon I had my tooth implant done. And it really wasn't too bad. Actually better than I thought. Having the tooth dug out was worse. Basically he numbed the outside and then the inside. Waited a few minutes for it to go numb. Then he drilled the hole. No cutting. Screwed the screw in. Then screwed a cap onto the screw. No stitches. No gauze. I was in the chair for less than 30 minutes. Now it has to heal for 4 months. Letting the bone and screw become one. After the bone has filled all in, they will take the cap off and put the tooth on. Pretty cool!! The area is sore and aches. But my biggest problem is with my RA. Just my immune system. Sooo..... even though my implant went fairly easy............... it kicked my butt! I went to work Tuesday morning, but was heading home by dinnertime. Then I was home still on Wednesday. I am feeling much better today and ready to say................. EASY PEASY!!
