Last October I had to have oral surgery, an extraction, involving general anesthesia. I was out of it most of that day, missed two days of work, and required Lortabs off and on for about three days.
Thursday, Dad had a tooth extraction, involving general anesthesia, at the same oral surgeon's office. On the way home from the hospital he finished a business deal. He took a brief nap, but stayed up until 11:00 to watch a ball game. The strongest pain medicine he's taken is a naproxen. Oh, and he's in his 80s.
I feel like a wimp.

I'm dreading just getting a crown in the next couple of weeks. Any time spent in the dentist's chair is tough. Way to go, Uncle Lynn, for being a champ! And you, too, Ann, for just enduring!
I am meeting with a specialist to get a tooth implant. I am edgy. Has anyone had one, and can give me a "head's up?"
My friend's daughter in MI had a couple of implants and she said it was really no big deal. Hope that give you encouragement.
