...has come to an end...we hope! A while back Butch looked into having a wisdom tooth pulled in Mexico. He went to the usual place he goes for dental work and his regular guy wasn't there because he had broken a leg. His replacement was a recent grad from dental school and said she was up to taking out his wisdom tooth. Butch did not believe her because his 3 other wisdom tooth removals have been a challenge for big burly dentists with lots of muscle. So months go by and our friend Alex comes across an Orthodontist father and son team in Mexico and has some work scheduled. In council with these two, he decides he would be in good hands to proceed with the work he wished to have done. And so the process started. Alex continued to feel confident with his choice so Butch called to make an appointment for March 24th at 4:00 PM. He was told the fee would be $50 in cash and more if things got complicated. So yesterday he had the tooth removed. It took two hours and lots of muscle as Butch had predicted it would. All precautions were followed and Butch said as he was 10 minutes into it he felt confident he was in the right place. The final bill was $70 because an x-ray was needed. He is on antibiotics for 7 days, Ibuprofen for pain, and filled a script for a med in case the bleeding wouldn't stop. It did stop after one dose. I think Butch has found a dental facility that meets all of his needs.
And then today I had my follow-up appointment for the gastric procedure I had in February. All is well on that front so now I feel appointment-free!!
