Now that the gum swelling has gone down, the stitches have appeared and are starting to annoy me. Usually, this would not be a concern seeing as the surgeon would take them out in a week.
Unfortunately, the surgeon has gone on holidays from today and won't be back until June. Sooo...either I find another surgeon, or live with a mouth full of stitches for a month. And that's assuming that my surgeon isn't so idiosyncratic with his stitches that someone else can't unpick them and remove them.
It may get better.
However, today I started getting the head twinges again - back right scalp. I don't see the chiro for another week - they advised a break during the week of the surgery. I do have a massage booked for tomorrow, the difficulty might be persuading her not to go above the neck. (Sometimes the more alternative massage practitioners seem to take 'please don't touch X' as a directive that they should specifically work on X instead of avoiding it. Has anyone else noticed this?)
The chiro I saw while mine was on a break said "don't be surprised if everything gets worse for a while, but then clears up once you get the tooth out". So I'm holding out that this is temporary and not the next stage of worse.
*sighs and digs in*
