From the horse's as...oops, I mean mouth himself, re' his "oral rehab":

I am home at Connie's place and things went just fine. We got in at 6 AM and they did the "do" at about 8. The doc said everything went well and I have some swelling and that kind of thing, but basically feel pretty good. Karen is going out for pain meds and and in about 3 days, things should be healed enough for real food.

That's one down and one to go, Spawdarlin'....so good to know this one went well!!

KimC, have fun on your vacation. He will see your good wishes, I am sure, as he will be back home, tomorrow. First three days we may not hear much out of him, but I am sure he'll be reading, at least, unless the painkillers lay him out cold.

I think he is going to be a lot more sore than he thinks he is going to be. I have had wisdom teeth out, root canals, fillings, cleanings,crowns, etc. but never more than one thing at a time..........and the One Thing (except for cleaning/scaling) is bad enough, let alone all at once.

Oral rehab on Spaw. Somehow that seems to go with Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum that the boys visited.

Now, Pat, you sit quietly and follow all of Karen's advice and admonishments. Take the good drugs and grin happily through the swelling.

Hope you feel better soon.

When I think of oral rehab for you, Big Pat, I envision this long string of tired, disappointed and demoralized jolly walkers slowly giving up and dragging their way back to their call-mobiles parked on your road, shaking their heads in wonder at the incredible that finally came to pass -- the one they couldn' resurrect -- blond, redhead, young and old, all fallen in their pride as they gave their best and somehow found it wanting. Oh, the SHAME of it!!!

But one who fell, comes not at all!

They shake their curls in deep amaze
They sense perdition's maw;Who once made stand such brave arrays
No standing found, with Spaw!

I say , just lose ALL the teeth and get some falsies, my mum swears with/by them.

I can send you some nice recipes for soup if you like ( duck ). Just don't let you mouth heal up too much. Hey if all your teeth fall out 'cos of infections and that, you can try for being a champion 'gurner'.

There's always a bright side to these things.

I'm going to require about an hour to compose and write what I want to say about Bill, Ian, and Sam, so I'll stick a couple of others up first.......starting with this one.

For those of you who predicted great pain and all of that.......you lose, and I'm tickled to death!!! I have no pain at all as far as the mouth goes and just some minor swelling. I have a sore throat from the anesthesia, but that's about it....and with no pain pills!

This couldn't have gone better. We got to the hospital at 6 AM and I was in the O.R. at 7:30. Woke up 3 hours later with a ton of packing in my mouth and nose and groggy, but when we left the hospital at 2 PM, I had only light bleeding and swelling. The swelling should pass in 3-4 days. I even had a half hot dog and an order of fries for lunch!!!

I had to have a clean bill of dental health prior to the heart surgery and now all the work is done. The problem came from years of not going to the dentist and a severe jaw injury that cracked all of my upper teeth. Most of the uppers from the bicuspids back on both sides had, over the years, broken off at the gumline. So this was a major "rehabilitation." They also filled several lowers, and the repaired the upper front teeth....and gave me a nice cleaning to boot. Wayne had a similar situation and went to the dentist for several months, each trip resulting in far more pain that I have now. I got lucky I guess.........and I hope my luck holds for another few weeks.

Thanks to all of you for your fine wishes and now, on to the big one!

Spaw,

Will you still be able to eat your vegemite? God, I hope not. Remember, I'm down wind of you in Pittsburgh. Just kidding, get well soon.

Speaking of downwind of you, it looks like I'll be in your neck of the woods a couple times this summer, God willing. When I know for sure, I'll drop you a line. I'm hoping to go to the Dublin Ohio Irish Festival, and an Gaeltacht Weekend in Columbus.

At any rate (even 4.5%), I hope you're feeling your old self, soon.

I had a wisdom tooth out the day before a friend's wedding. At the reception his brother breathed a sigh of relief when I mentioned what had been going on, because he thought that I had been slugged! On all the photographs I am facing the same way to hide the "no neck" effect! At least, being a bottom - sorry Spaw - LOWER tooth, I had no black eye.

The worst part was having the damn thing dug out under local anaesthetic!

Gil, Spaw's heart surgery is a simple procedure. It appears he has too much heart and it conflicts with the curmudgeon attitude in his brain causing ulcers and bad tempers. So the doctors are removing part of the heart to try to bring him in line with his "attitude".

I predict the operation will be a success and he will heal completely. However I also predict he will continue to be a nice guy no matter how much they do to his chest.
