Kent's surgery.

OK, here's your *WARNING* right now. Some of these pictures may be TMI (too much information), but nothings sacred here, and Kent doesn't care that I take pictures of everything!

Well, yesterday morning Kent and I headed to the oral surgeon. He was having 2 teeth pulled.

We had to wait out in the waiting room for almost an hour before they were ready for him, did I ever mention I really hate waiting? Anyway, they finally called him back, and they had his 2 teeth pulled in less than 10 minutes. And that was no exaggeration! They said he's a healthy young man, his teeth had no inflammation or anything so it makes the extraction very easy.

So as soon as we got into the car (they had to wheel him out in a wheel chair- that's their procedure) I got the camera out and took a little video. He was a little woozy... I thought he'd like to see how he looked later, and I thought it was funny...

Then when we got home, I took a little video of him trying to eat his yogurt...

Here he is resting... the doctor said that he'd be in and out of sleep as the medication wore off, and also the pain medicine kicking in. Well, Kent didn't sleep at all... I did tho, I just curled up on the end of the couch he was laying on and crashed... my mom has a picture of that in her blog.

But Kent was totally spoiled. He had his yogurt. Then I made him sponge bob macaroni and cheese. He also had some apple sauce, and his ice-cream later!

OK, here's that last warning, this next picture is kinda gross, you can see the empty sockets of where his teeth used to be... so if you're squeamish you might want to scroll over this next picture kinda fast, if not, you can see how crowded his front teeth are and how they have room to spread out with the help of the braces keeping them straight as they spread out...

This next pictures looks kinda sad, he has gauze pads pushed up into the holes to give a little pressure. But the doctor said he really didn't need to do that cause his surgery went so quickly and he had hardly any bleeding...They asked if Kent wanted to keep his teeth and he thought that was pretty cool, so here they are, it's amazing how deep those roots go into the gums. Crazy!Kent had no pain yesterday cause we kept him on the pain killers every 4 hours. And this morning he seems totally fine. He said he still doesn't have any pain, and that's going with out no pain pills over night. So unless he starts feeling sore I think he's done with the pain medicine. I told him he's a super fast healer like his mom!

Now the next big step is getting the braces in....
