I had gum surgery today to correct (I hope) the peridontitis that’s been haunting me for years. They split open my gums, cleaned away tarter below the gum line, and graphed synthetic bone-like material. The idea is to make up for bone loss due to the condition and firm up my teeth which, untreated, would eventually fall out. I have genetically strong teeth (I’ve only every had one filling) but genetically weak gums which have troubled me since childhood. The procedure itself took place at 8:00 this morning. I was in bed, drugged-up iced-down, until 10:00 p.m. So now I’ve spent my obiligatory time online and can go back to bed. Luckily, I have tomorow off from work, but there will be plenty of work for me when I get back and I’ll probably finish some smaller things from home tomorow (in a little uncompensated telecommuting, I’m sure).
