New Socket Made of Donor Bone

Justamom: "new socket made of donor bone, and tendons and ligs tightened."

Modern medicine continues to just absolutely stun me.

I am not a doctor, and I don't play one on tv or evn have a tv, but on the pain-killers:

Fear of addiction, so I read, has caused some medical people, and individuals, to actually withhold much-needed painkillers because, for example, some chronically-in-pain elder might become hooked. Some of us can tough out more pain than others, but the whole point of having such drugs is for this very purpose of alleviating pain in case of severe injury or surgery, praise the Lord and pass the morphine. I wouldn't want the dentist to drill without novacaine, either. Sounds like the doc has in mind a sensible tapering-off program.

May his healing be as 100% as possible.
