[Magdalen] Tooth prayers again

[Susan Hagen]

Thanks everyone, I'm feeling pretty good today.  I've got some
swelling and soreness but no bruising and have stepped down to
tramadol.  I will probably putter around the yard a bit.  I decided to
take the day off work in case things were still painful since I really
can't drive or work on hydrocodone but so far haven't needed a dose.
Anyway, it's a gorgeous day in the Valley and well worth staying home
to enjoy it.

Mine did after a tooth extraction (that was its own horrendous experience- so glad yours sounds nothing like mine!). I have been so extremely pleased with my one implant. I would do it again, if need be, without hesitation.  But it did take me, also, a full year.
