Back from my Followup
Today I went to my perio followup from my extraction. My doctor looks like a movie star - always nice to go and see him.
The disease is there, but he doesn't want to do surgery again since my last was only 1 year ago.
He's got me on periostat now for 3 months. He's going to see what happens with that.
Nobody knows what to do about me.
Perfectly clean and carefully taken care of teeth and gums - yet cannot stop the perio disease; even after 3 surgeries (AND two extractions) over 10 years.
Very sad indeed.
Stopped at Home Depot at the Forum on my way back to work and picked up two elbow joints and 5 end caps for the irrigation system. They didn't have any 1/2" cut off valves - haven't found a Home Depot that does. I guess I'll have to try online (which is how I should have ordered the whole thing and saved the 8.25% tax..... ah well.
