5 months

really...  it has been 5 months since Larry had teeth....   he has been such a trooper through all of this past year... He used to say he was a wimp with pain, but he isn’t any longer... I have been amazed....

He had good strong teeth, very few problems, but at a dental checkup in August, they discovered he had gum disease....  for a person with heart disease, this is a huge danger....  that bacteria can cause a heart patient to be on antibiotics for the rest of their lives...

So he and the oral surgeon decided to do it all.....   under anesthesia of course... what was to be a one night stay turned into 9 nights because his kidnies went into shock.....  but that is done.

Today he got his new teeth.....   no steak tonight, has to get used to eating and talking, but to the future......
