colterphoto1 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I had a tooth removed several months ago and have elected to get a tooth implanted in it's place. Tomorrow is the second part of the surgery, for a necessary bone graft to the jaw in order to create a good bed for the implant in a few months. If this is anything like the removal process, I'll be completely out of it tomorrow and laid up for a couple of days. Not looking forward to this but the surgeon comes highly recommended and last time I was in, they weren't shy about the anesthesia. I think I'll go buy some movies tonight so I have a lot to watch while I lie about in la-la land. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Go rent Repo Man with Harry Dean Stanton and Estevez..... It'll make you laugh (and hurt....). Besides any movie where the premise is a bunch of radioactive glowing tubed aliens in the trunk of a 64' Chevy is just too good to pass up....[H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The 'bad guy' in Marathon Man takes a drill straight though Dustin Hoffman's front tooth, to make him talk... He does more than one tooth in the book. The whole audience visibly slid down in their seats when the scene appeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 That movie was hard to watch. One of DH's best performances. Great acting all-around actually. I hope Michael's day goes more smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyboy Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Good luck! I had surgery on the 9th of Oct. Got a vascectomy. If that's how you spell it? Wasn't bad at all, but I got some REAL good pain pills!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Good Luck. Also stock up on Instant Pudding, and Jello................. What time is it when you go to the Dentist? ( Tooth Hurty).................[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 ah, so watch the movie AFTER the surgery then.... Yeah. From the descriptions I'd think you'd want to avoid that one before going.... Good thing Coytee's not nearby or he'd be likely to sneak in and load up a pile of Marie Osmond CDs.... though for anescetic purposes some Lawrence Welk may put you away when the pain pills start to wear off.... a one ana two ana ... I can make fun of LW.... Dad and Mom rarely missed on TV and even took us to see Larry and the old dudes and women in frilly dresses at the Indiana state fair one year.... 'bout the only thing I can remember (thank God) was that all the guys were wearing electric or neon blue sport coats. Practically glowed in the bright lights. In later years I'm thinking it would've helped if could've swigged down a fifth or more of the champagne puportadly used in the bubble machines... And yet, somehow I turned out... well, Ok may be a bit optimistic, but we'll go with OK To a speedy recovery. [D] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Good Luck. Also stock up on Instant Pudding, and Jello................. And ice cream.... Maybe Indy, Trey, or Steve could bring you a nice soothing milkshake in your favorite flavor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Good luck Michael ! I looked into the same thing years ago to replace a molar that I had pulled . I put $1k down on the proceedure . When I went to the specialist he quoted a price allmost twice as high as the original dentist . I don't have dental insurance so the expense at the time seemed unreasonable . I backed out and got my money back . If it had been one of my front teeth I would have done it . Darn vanity ...

skonopa Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I think I'll go buy some movies tonight so I have a lot to watch while I lie about in la-la land. I know the feeling. [] Two years ago, right at the middle of December, I had all four ot my wisdom teeth yanked! That was not fun by any stretch of the imagination. I had a local anesthesia, thus I was still able to drive myself home. The real kicker was that I still showed up at work the next day, much to nearly everyone's surprise. However, I only stuck around for a few hours and went back home. The other part that suck was going to the Christmas party at work, and seeing all of this awesome food, but could not really eat any of it, except a few pieces of the water melon, pineapple and other relatively soft things from the fruit tray. They usually have some pretty darn good chicken wings and the like at these things. Go figure later that same week was the TSO concert, of which I already had tickets for and had no intention of backing out. Pretty much sat there just watching the show and not much else. Not only that, one of the very rare times that got me to stay home off the ski slopes. I was just not in any condition to want to go skiing that weekend. Yeah, definitly want to stock up on the Ice Cream, apple sauce, pudding, yugart, and yes, soup. Now, hitting up the local Stake-n-Shake for a milkshake (or like was suggested above, get Roger, Steve, Trey or Amy to be nice and get you one [] ) is not a bad idea (darn shame no Steak-n-Shakes around here in F'burg. and Carl's was closed for the season at the time as well, thus Micky-D's had to do).

BLSamuel Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Micky-D's had to do [] well they call them a milkshake.... No Dairy Queen's either Steve? Most Dairy Queen's still have chunks of real strawberries in their strawberry milkshakes. I'm not sure the standard Steak-n-Shake strawberry milkshake does anymore....though they do have very good milkshakes. Got a couple of frozen custard places too that makes a really good milkshake though at least one is now closed for the season. 2 Steak-n-Shakes here in Kokomo ... we must be spoiled (#*&%@ almost 2 AM and I'm craving a milkshake...)
