Woke up this morning, no severe dental pain. Didn't wake in pain during the night. That was one apprehension. Just discomfort. These dentures feel rather large in my mouth. I suspect they may make initial dentures intentionally large on purpose to accommodate for tissue swelling but I didn't have that much swelling. At least, the bottom denture feels large. The top has a good suction seal and doesn't move. Though I think with the permanent denture I'll have them trim a gap in the back. It covers part of my soft upper palate, making it more difficult to swallow.
I did feel really tired last night. Of course, part of my body was altered, which can cause fatigue.
Slowly adjusting. Still talking with a lisp. That may take a while to get past.
Wish I could win the lottery and afford permanent dental implants.
Temperature didn't get too cold last night. That was only a short reprieve. Starting tomorrow and for several days the highs stay in the 40's and lows for my area drop into the teens. Wonder if the dogs will get it into their heads to use the solarium at that point? I'm still not bringing them in the house. I have a place where they can stay warm. Not dealing with risk of daughter's asthma, the damage they would do and the poop they would drop everywhere.
Guess just because I'm logical, I don't really see the attraction to dogs. They destroy things, stink, require loads of attention.. People spend many thousands of dollars to protect floors and carpets from stains from dogs, have to clean up hair all the time, often deal with excessive barking, alter/negate/make special and expensive travel plans, pick up poop, spend many hours paper training them, run the risk of the dog biting someone, sometimes the risk of their own children being mauled to death.. All to have the dog lick their hand and wag their tail? I know, some people think I'm a bad person for my views but I just don't get it. Truth is, I find it all too narcissistic in many cases. In other cases, I see pathological emotional imbalance. Some people who defend animals are willing to reject human beings and even harm or kill. (I'm all for protecting animals but not attack or kill other humans.)
Looks like my healing time has become longer in general and permanently. At least, normal for someone in their 30's. I think a large part of that has to do with the dry environment. I can't tolerate bandages and ointments to retain moisture all the time, so any little wounds I have dry out and heal more slowly. I think I would still heal a lot more quickly in a higher humidity environment. I am leaving the cat bite out of that statement. Animal bites into a joint always take a long time to heal and many, if not most people require antibiotics for them. Some even need surgery. Least my immune and healing abilities haven't reached that point. Then again, maybe it's more the whining factor. I make observations and have legitimate concerns but don't whine and run to the doctor because of something which just needs time to heal. I just watch closely for worsening infection and damage.
Guess I should get up and do something useful.
