Appologies for my lack of posts. I've been to see Dr. F and Dr. D, but it was right before and after taking a vacation and then with the chaos. But here I am.
When I saw Dr. F I complained that my teeth were moving (and they hurt a lot) - he told me that was good. It seems my teeth were moving into place, imagine that. The pain has subsided and I'm able to eat again!
Dr. D was a more interesting visit. On January 20th she is going to clip out the distraction device. Small in the office procedure. She is going to leave the part of the device that is under the gums, under the gums.
Then in late February, early March she is going to do another bone graft in the area that was not covered by the distraction. At that time she will remove the part of the device that is under the gums. She said she would probably take bone from him hip - I can't wait.
When she had initially mentioned doing the bone graft I had thought it would be a smaller procedure, but when you start talking about taking from my hip I know it's not a small procedure.
