Will taking out the last stitches stop the twinges in the head/face? Stop the grinding in the neck? Ease the hand/foot swelling? Settle the ache in the jaw?

Would it make a difference if I hadn't had the implant put in at the same time as I had the tooth extracted? Let the infection clear up, then go back in and do the implant (if necessary).

I don't know. And that's probably the worst part right now; not knowing if it'll all heal up and fix up, or whether some of it will get better or whether none of it will.

Am I going to fight impending headaches for weeks, months, or years? Coping with it all. Accepting that I'm not going to be what I was a year ago, two years, three, five.

Travelling is going to be iffy; food intolerances, sleep postures, pain and misery and despair.

The health professionals are all upbeat and hopeful in their prognoses. I guess I should be, too. I'm just outside my city limits and trying to adjust to everything.

I'm so sorry you're going through a tough time. I hope things get measurably better today, and tomorrow, and the day after, and keep on getting better until you're back to a place where things feel good.

Yes, I bet. :(
