We are back home, before lunch! They did not have to do a skin graft to seal the jaw area, so that cut the time for the procedure in half. We were prepared for a full day at Emory.
Dr. Roser was pleased with how it all went, and the swelling is much less than I thought it would be. In fact, I just had yogurt and some Ensure+, so already eating again. But, will be on a very soft diet until the follow up on May 13th.
The bonus Good News is that Roser removed most of the hair from inside my mouth, so I won't have to shave my lower gums any more. Life is good!
Terry went to the pharmacy to get the pain meds ordered. They will be needed less for jaw pain and more for me to cope with the reality that Donald Trump is now the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. That puts him just one election victory away from us taking up citizenship in New Zealand.
While this morning went a whole lot better than we thought, there is still a long ways to go with this stuff. Thanks for all of the Good Vibes--as always, Team Mike came through in a big way.

Way to go, Team Mike! Don't worry too much about Trump. One day,we will all wake up and discover this election was all just a nightmare! Lol!
