Home again...

The surgery appears to have been a success, James now lacks lower wisdom teeth while gaining new front-jaw bone tissue, in preparation for eventual implants. He was in pain when I saw him in the recovery room... hadn't seen that expression in awhile, not since he was much smaller and had fallen off of his bike. [profile] patgreene and I brought him home about 45 minutes ago. He's had pain medications... has gauze in his mouth and is swollen. But seems better.

[personal profile] cyan_blue is currently out with the two younger kids, giving James a chance to settle in and sleep. [personal profile] tenacious_snail spent the night over here so Pat and I could leave at 6am with James. I really appreciate the support from both sweeties, at a stressful time. :)

Speaking from experience, implants kick serious ass over other options like bridges. I'm glad that's an option for him.

I hope the pain eases for him soon!
