Joeby- how did your appointment go yesterday? Is the pain you are having getting any better after the deep clean?

Hi JNFR- the pain is definately better from the deep cleaning. I went yesterday for my consultation at the Oral Surgeon and it sounds like he doesn't want to touch me with a 10 foot pole because of all of my complications but he will have to remove the impacted wisdom tooth. He said he will only do the surgery with my Perinatologist along side of him and he wants to do it at the hospital to prevent any serious bleeding since I am on the Lovenox. He said it may be uncomfortable but he will do his best to keep the pain to a minimum so at least that is good. How are you doing?

Sounds like they have things under control, and its a good thing they're doing it at the hospital. Got all the what ifs covered. Tomorrows my big day! I'm nervous but I may be ok with it, I dunno.

joeby - Hey I actually survived but didn't have a great experience : (. Make sure you are fully comfortable with your surgeon! I will tell you more later! I'm sure yours will be much better and go smoothly! The rest was much needed tho!

Oh Britt_M I am so sorry that you didn't have a good experience. I hope they didn't hurt you too badly. That is my fear,, that is getting a dry socket, I hear they hurt so bad. My friend came over the other day and finally talked me into having the extraction done so I will go through with it. I have only met my Oral Surgeon once and he seems really nice, the office staff is really nice so I just hope they know what they are all doing. I will keep you updated. Keep me updated on how you are doing and I hope you feel better soon =)

Ok well my Oral Surgeon called and they had to reschedule my extraction for next week so now I have another week to go! I think they are purposely doing this to me.. just to build up anxiety. Other than that I went to my OB/GYN yesterday and he set my delivery date. He decided that since I am such a high risk pregnancy that I will be delivering at 37 weeks which means I will deliver on Friday October 31st!!! Can you believe it?? A Halloween baby?? That is weird but exciting.. puts me closer to the finish line!!

Hey Joeby_ other than that, are you feeling any better? Has the head pain subsided any? Hang in there!

Hi JNFR- I wish I could give you a better report but sadly everything is pretty much the same with the head pains. I will be finally seeing the Neurologist on Tuesday July 22nd. Hopefully they will be able to figure something out. I am so ready to figure this out and finish up this pregnancy! How are you doing?
