I've contacted everyone I owe art to individually, but I'm throwing this up here in the meanwhile just because.
I made it through oral surgery on wednesday, yay! They've put in the implant post, so I've basically got a metal cylinder screwed deep into my jawbone.
"That sounds kinda painful," you might say. Why, yes. Yes it is. I'm in so much pain it's making me nauseous, in fact.
Suffice it to say I'm still on some pretty heavy painkillers. I might be capable of dumb doodles but my coordination isn't great right now. So I'm holding off on working on owed art so people actually get my best work, rather than the best I could do while high on tramadol.
I'm really tired of hurting, blah. Still, at least recovery isn't looking to be as gnarly as other surgeries I've been through.
Thank you! And it does suck, but it's been a long time coming. I'm getting an implant to replace a cracked tooth with a failed root canal (the root canal itself was fine, I just got a nasty infection under the root since my jaw apparently doesn't like dead stuff sitting in it or something.)
I'm looking forward to not having a gap in my teeth, recovery just sucks more than I was prepared for, oof.
Considering my partner has had to go through the same thing twice (I think...I can't remember), along with three extractions, from secondhand experience I sympathize. Here's hoping for an expeditious recovery!

That's terrifying. I do wish you a swift recovery!
