You see the little bastard in the image above? The one I had pulled two weeks ago? Yeah, I'm still suffering the consequences of that bitch. The socket, albeit not "dry", is slow to close up and the area around it is quite tender; I can still eat only soft foods. But the truly weird effect is the lingering numbness in my right lower-jaw. And I have a place just below my lip that was rubbed raw during my sleep a couple of weeks ago and it seems extremely to heal. In fact, there is one point on my lower lip that burns intensely. My point to all this is four years ago I had a total ankle (right) replacement, was in surgery for approx. 6 hours, and still recovered faster than I can seem to from this "doctor's" ministrations. I'm calling my internist tomorrow to see how to get this pain to stop. Two weeks is plenty for me.
