Gwen, you don’t want to hear my implant story! 20,000 DOLLARS later and I have nothing but a bone graft to show for it! Ugh

Zoiks! Julie, makes my total hip replacement sound like a walk in the park.

Seriously, though, I have permanent nerve damage from the surgery I had15 years ago to remove the tumor in my salivary gland. The one thing that helps is cannabis gummies. I don't take them very often, but they really help when the pain is bad, which seems to occur when the barometric pressure changes right before a storm. Normally, I just have that pins and needles feeling like novocain wearing off. Good luck with your surgery, hope it goes well.
