Metal Out, Metal In

I felt like it was a huge drop off of metal on my films after the braces came off.  But now I've got a new addition:
Picture
Got my implant done on Mon.  My surgeon said have a weekend off for recovery, and I am glad I scheduled this on my work Friday.  This hurt worse than I thought it would!  It might have had something to do with the fact that I went out for Monday night football and talked and chewed too much, but regardless, I was pretty damn sore come Tues.  The feeling of being tender to the touch, swollen, and gums all stitched and sore totally gave me dejavu of the break in my jaw after surgery on that side. Was kind of the same feeling, and now I realize how much of a blessing in disguise the numbness is after jaw surgery!

So, first implant finally out of the way.  As for the others?  Still in wait and see mode with those.  I check in with my prosth again later this month.  I see my surgeon on Tues for a check up of the implant site, and then get my hawley for my top teeth from my ortho. I am excited to get that and hopefully relieve some of the clenching/headaches I've had in the essix.  I see my ortho in a few weeks for my first official retainer check, although he kind of got an eye ball on me the other day when I was in to shave down the fake tooth on the lower hawley since now I have a post sticking up out of that space.  After that....nothing on the books for the rest of the year.  So weird!  I think this is the most calm/dead my ortho/jaw calendar has looked in over 3.5 years.....which is awesome! :)
