15 Days

Little over 2 weeks left until surgery. I talked to the ENT’s scheduler yesterday, and got my pre/post op appointments scheduled. Surgery is still on for October 25th, we will need to be there at 2pm, surgery starting at 4pm.

2nd week back at work is this week. It is nice to be doing something other than sleeping and non-stop doctor visits.

The oral surgeon’s office strangely called me today saying that I need to come back. So maybe they found something in the scan that the radiologist missed (not surprised). So I’ll see them Thursday. I’d still love an explanation of the swelling I’m feeling in my jaw and along it.

I’m almost convinced the bone grafts used were tainted. And that’s where the infection is hiding outside of my salivary glands. Shit still hurts.

This weekend I did do another round of Ketamine. Did 150mg. Same good experience as always, at least I could walk out of the appointment unlike last time. I like last time, the pain came back by Monday. I’m pretty sure this is getting to the point where surgery just needs to happen. No amount of pain treatment is going to curb this anymore.

That’s really all I got for a change. I’ll post an update after Thursday.

15 days to go.
