That's not funny!! I did try to knock out a few Saturday night when I drunkenly elbowed him in the mouth!! I really felt bad about it.

Yabbut.... I'd have some 'splainin to do to Hobson.(my cherry conversion van) I'll take the dental bill.

The clock is ticking. It has been a long road, but this morning at 1000 hrs., I go for my final surgery. This evening I will be wearing my new "immediate" dentures. I will wear those for six months and then go back for more impressions to have my "permanent" set made. Then I will use the first set as spares, like when I feel like whooping somebody's ass or something.

Keep your fingers crossed for me AND our checkbook, please. Will try to post this evening if I'm not still too fucked up. (Like I've never posted fucked up before)....

Good luck! Hope you get the good drugs!

jujuwwhite 03-09-2010 05:57 AM

Capnhowdy did real good yesterday during his surgery. He did come home with some real pretty white teeth but for several hours he looked liked a vampire after a real tasty eating episode. He would try to talk or open his mouth and blood would just pour out both sides of his mouth and he was still numb from the drugs and couldn't even feel it. But thankfully he didn't bleed to death, it finally slowed stopped and he ended up getting a fairly good sleep.

We go back this morning for his first alignment.

Oh, and bless his heart, he ate peach ice cream last night for the first time in several years and said it sure was good!!

xoxoxoBruce 03-09-2010 10:09 AM

Glad to hear he soldiered through. I can remember driving myself home from the hospital with a mouth full of stitches, new teeth, cotton and blood. I stopped at the drug store to get two prescriptions filled and the woman behind the counter wanted all kinds of information. Trying to answer her questions without leaking all over the counter was impossible. :haha:

I'm sure he looks GrrrrrrrEAT!

capnhowdy 03-09-2010 04:37 PM

Sheldon.... You always make me laugh. No matter what. Thnx!

monster 03-10-2010 07:53 AM

How are you feeling this morning, Cap'n?

capnhowdy 03-10-2010 08:13 AM

Better now, since my meds have kicked in. I made my first wrong decision last night in that I decided to sleep wothout the teeth. I slept like a bear except for the occasional cottonmouth attack, which I quickly treated with the recommended hot water/salt/vinegar rinse. But what happened was my gums swelled up some and when I put my teeth in this morning it was a near tear experience. I won't do that again.

And of course, as with all surgeries, the soreness doesn't hit you till a day or two later. I am thankful for four things mainly this morning:
1) hydrocodone
2) alloted sick days
3) Jim Beam

and last but not least....MY PEARLY WHITES!

Thanks for checking, Monnie. Hope you are well this morning.:)

Sheldonrs 03-10-2010 08:56 AM

The whitest teeth I've ever cum across. :p:

Well, I was well yesterday morning, and I think I'm OK this morning, but I did spend most of the evening ejecting my bodily contents, thanks for asking (I bet you wish you hadn't, huh? :lol:)

glatt 03-11-2010 07:46 AM

I hope everything came out ok, Monster.

And capn, once you are healed up, we need pictures of you with a big toothy grin.

Well, it certainly came out! I feel fine now. Trying to decide if it's a bug or food poisoning.

Pie 03-11-2010 08:18 AM

Seems like every other person I know is suffering with some sort of stomach bug right now. Hope you feel better soon, monster.

Hmmmm...if every other person you know is sick and you're not, what does that tell us? :D

Pie 03-11-2010 08:40 AM

"every other person" --> you're sick, you're not, you're sick, you're not...
Roughly 1/2 of people. :)

Either that, or they're all sick of me.

capnhowdy 03-11-2010 08:56 AM

Getting a little easier now. I am going to try to check in at work tomorrow. I finally feel like I'm gonna make it. Damn.... my mouth is sore. But not as sore as it has been. I'll try to put a pic up today sometime.

thanks, I feel great. Just went to the gym for two hours with a friend :D

Sara Bennett 03-15-2010 12:40 PM

Are you sick from not eating well?

monster 03-15-2010 05:01 PM

Why, you wanna sell me something to help with that?

capnhowdy 03-16-2010 06:11 AM

I go this afternoon to have my sutures removed. whoohoo....

monster 03-16-2010 07:21 AM

good luck. How are you getting on with the temporary dentures?

capnhowdy 03-16-2010 08:24 PM

Having to do intervals. Just so goddam sore its hard to even put water in my mouth. The dentist found bone fragments working their way out of my gums today. Said they'll prolly work on out in a few days... if not, guess what. Yep. open it up and remove and suture. Hell of a ride. But I'm tough and riding. Hard. That's right!

Hell... I aint even afraid of dentists any more. Fuck 'em! Bring it on!

xoxoxoBruce 03-17-2010 12:14 AM

That's the spirit, it's just a matter of attitude. :D

Pie 03-17-2010 08:41 AM

And tequila. :drunk:

Best wishes! I had tooth fragments coming up for months after my wisdom teeth were taken out... :yeldead:

capnhowdy 03-17-2010 09:15 PM

Tequila will make me wanna remove teeth from others. That is a bad thing. But I will have some bourbon. In large quantities.

jujuwwhite 03-22-2010 05:46 AM

The best part of Capn not always wearing his dentures....No teeth marks the morning after!!:ggw:

capnhowdy 03-29-2010 06:59 AM

I have healed enough now that I can bear to wear the dentures all day. And I am learning to eat. And talk.

Yesterday I ate potato chips, pork rinds, ice cream, and roasted chicken. Yay me!

monster 03-29-2010 08:24 AM

Great stuff. :D

classicman 03-29-2010 12:46 PM
