"Having been fortunate enough as a child to be enrolled with a dentist who made the inevitable intellectually interesting and satisfied my curiosity, dentistry as held no terrors - quite the contrary. Since then, I have experienced a variety of expertise.
Yesterday's treatment was - in my view - very successful; considering two back extractions, it was only mild uncomfortable, rapid and efficient. (It was obvious, as you said, you had done it before!)
Fitting the screws was, again, only mildly uncomfortable but quick and, while still aching and slightly swollen, there has been little bleeding and no pain. Seeing a television comedy, trying not to laugh required an effort of will. I used cold packs all evening, not for pain, but to diminish any potential bruising and swelling and this seems to have been successful."
"Dear Mariana,
I am emailing you to
thank you so very much for
the luxury hamper that was
delivered to my home this
morning; it was a lovely
gesture and needless to say,
Julie's eyes went straight
to the chocolates!
I also want to thank you
for looking after us
yesterday and for the
wonderful care we both
received...Thank you all so
very much.
I
had a reasonable night's
sleep and only needed pain
killers on 2 occasions after
leaving Glenholme. This
morning I am virtually pain
free with only slight
swelling on the left side,
and this is reducing with
the cold packs. The bleeding
has also ceased. And to top
it all I have a full
beautiful set of teeth and a
smile to be proud of.
Thank
you all once again for
looking after us so
attentively.
A very
Merry Xmas and Happy New
Year to you all and I look
forward to seeing you on the
14th Jan 2014.
Best wishes and kind
regards"
