UPDATE ON ORAL SURGERY

While still in the cloud of my recovery, I thought I would write a short update.

They had a hard time sedating me, because of the long standing oral medication I take for my leg. So they chorused up three drugs, placed it under my tongue and they moisten it and told me let the finishing dissolving. I required double the dose and still never went to sleep. All of the rest of the procedure went well.

When I went home some of my regular oral meds I already take got modified. Of the two medications’ modified, one stopped and the other one changed. I could not get the pain to stop and so I started doubling my up on my pain meds bd inqreasing their frequency . I was having trouble staying awake, to the point I would fall asleep while eating. I still have trouble staying awake. If you know me, I normally have to take medication to fall asleep.

I am having trouble remembering anything. I even started to hallucinating things. I started to develop a productive cough and somehow my wife convinced me to go to the hospital. The only thing I remember about that trip was finding out, towards the end, that we weren’t there for my dogs. I remember the doctor telling my wife that nothing was showing on the x-ray of my lungs, but he definitely heard rales in my lungs. He is fairly convinced the effects were drug reacted and probable potential overdoses.

My wife tells me that I look better today, but I still have no strength, things are still confusing me, and not to mention that the pain in my mouth hurts like having to electrodes plugged into my bottom gums.

Anyway, just wanted to update you all.
