Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Hi Sonya, Those shooting pains are fun, eh? I don't get them much anymore. It's really crazy sitting talking to someone and all of a sudden you feel one of those sharp zingers! Glad to hear you're making good progress. Remember, sleepy is good at this stage of the game! Get lots of rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Another thing I found odd yesterday is that the guy had to load me up with a bunch of novocaine -- he was fising some root surface cavities I'd developed -- and after he did, and as he worked, that shingly nerve started zinging me. I meant to tell him, but every time it happened, my mouth was full of tools and instruments, and eventually, between that and the gas, I never got around to mentioning it. That nerve is on my upper cheek, mainly, and my surgery was lower, so it's gotta be the aftermath, still, of the dratted shingles. But it illustrates, yet again, that nerves are funny things.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Sonya, WOW!! What great news all around. Sorry about the pain though. At least it is a positive sign. I am having the lower advanced and a genio also, so it was real encouraging to see your post. Permanent nerve damage is probably my biggest fear. I can't believe how fast things are moving for you. What a Christmas present, ha? Fly high as much as you need to Take Care of yourself and a healthy recovery wish to you...~~ > Hi Everyone, > Its me and its been 5 days since lower and genio and it has been a > breeze until this morning.
