Well today Pam was finally cleared to have her dental surgery that she has been waiting to have due to an ongoing infection for over a year. The surgery was fairly painful as it involves a reconstruction of gums and jaw. Not sure how long it will take her to fully recover but I'm sure it will not be quick as the swelling, the doctor indicated, may take weeks to fully go away. Luckily this week Laura was available to help her but that is not always going to be the case and since the drugs they have her on for pain and to fight infections are fairly strong she is slightly unstable, driving is not allowed and standing needs assistance as she often gets dizzy. So until she gets a doctors release I will be her caregiver though she seems fine just in lots of pain ...even with the medication.
