Well, hello ladies
Gentlemen, and everyone watching I'm your host the reporter of the week and I want to give you this little bit of an update
In regards to how I am doing
One thing that you might notice right off the bat. I'm talking a little funny. That's because I had two teeth removed
very very recently
Just a couple days ago. Really. I was if you saw I did a video a couple days back
Saying how I had these two
Molars that had this bad dental work done and whatnot
Well, they got pulled out
No, my even if you can't tell
I'm a little swollen and I can't talk perfectly. There is some pain but overall
Everything is going good. I know it must kind of be comical to the well hear me talking in this way, but
It'll it'll get better soon. I promise you here
but
Here's what they have to say in regards to the procedure to do a little bit of a yet. I don't know
What a what do you call it a dental?
Oral surgery review. Here's what we've got. I
I was so nervous beforehand. Let me just say that I was so nervous. I
Was just I mean really bad anxiety, you know, I have this dental anxiety
Imagine
Having that just you know for like a cavity or something
Now I have to get two teeth pulled. Forget it
So I had all this anxiety beforehand. I was gonna get caught under
with you know, the strong anesthesia, and it was just to know all these what it's I've I've never had it done before I've never
You know what's gonna happen?
What if it all goes wrong?
What if I remember everything is there gonna be a lot of pain
What about the aftercare? What about dry socket all this stuff? You know, it's like what's gonna happen?
and
The day of I figure well, we just got to bite the bullet. Nothing. I can really do go over there get it done
Let me just say first and foremost
If you're getting
Anesthesia say general anesthesia or even IV sedation?
You have nothing to worry about
my experience with that was
It's almost indescribable. It was like
You know I go there to get the two teeth pulled out. I just didn't really want to be awake
I didn't want to be conscious for it
It was just because I was so I was so nervous about it, you know, it was like I don't want to feel them
Rooting around in there and holding this stuff out you knows. So what they did was I
was talking with the doctor and the nurses that were there went to an oral surgeon and
You can kind of actually see in my arm not really but right there it's where they hooked the
IV up they said all right, you know from you but needles bother you this is gonna be the worst part
they put it in and
All right. Yeah, so all right, and we're just we're getting everything ready. Oh
yeah, just you know, I'm talking to one of the people there about the YouTube believe it or not and
So, you know, I'm sitting now I'm talking to them I'm saying, you know, I do the videos a you know
A couple times a week and then the next thing I know
Someone's hand is in my mouth
putting
Putting gauze in and it's over
and it was like
The way people describe it it's always the same
At the way like some anesthesia, especially the stronger types
It's crazy it's it's not like
I'm just talking and I'm feeling a little sleepy and my eyes just start slowly closing and
You know it all fades to black it wasn't like that
And it wasn't like I'm feeling dizzy, you know, I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel or any of that stuff
it was like
I'm talking to them about the youtubes
And he knows like a jump cut, you know, you see a jump cut in the video, it's just from one moment to the next
instantaneous no transition
Absolutely
nothing
That's what it was like
One minute. I'm talking to them. The next everything is over. I'm patched up
They're putting some gauze in and that's it
No recollection whatsoever. I
Didn't wake up. I
Didn't feel a single thing. I
mean it was
Smooth as possible. I mean just as smooth as can be I mean, I I gotta give him credit it did its job
It wasn't a bad experience hook. I didn't look forward to getting this stuff done. The recovery is what it is
Procedure itself was absolutely flawless
Out of ten easily easily a nine out of ten
I would I would rate them being because again smooth procedure
It got rid of my fears got rid of my anxieties got rid of my worries
Didn't feel anything no pain. It's done very
Good
So they're the extractions themselves went by very very smoothly
uh, so far these next couple of days, you know, it's been
You just got to manage things. That's what it comes down to you. Got to manage the pain
You got to do it responsibly number one
number two
Got a watch your diet
Right and you have right now this swelling in the jaw in the gums?
Which is why I kind of sound a little weird talk and it'll get better though. I promise and I can still articulate myself
You know, you just have to be very careful you don't want to get the dry socket
You don't want the you know, everything that they've done
because they took the teeth out and they filled the socket with um,
Bone Mike material as a bone graft. So then when I get the implants going forward, you know have something to hook it into and
Get the new teeth put in right so as a result
Because of all that you don't want that to be disturbed you don't want everything to fall out right you don't want to
Have that all undone. You just got to be careful. I mean, I'm probably talking a little too much as it is
I think it'll be okay though. It's been three days just can't use the straws. That's a little I like my straws
Just can't avoid
When you have to avoid some of the real solid foods, no chips, no popcorns, you know, none of that stuff just yet mostly been
feasting on jell-o
pudding
Soups
baby food
healthy little nutritional
supplement drinks
etcetera and
Yeah, yeah, of course. I want to get I want to eat a pizza
you know, I want to have some nice burgers or something, but
Hey, you know what? It's alright not the end of the world and
the last thing I want us to just rush things and you know get into it and then
Reset everything by a couple weeks and mess it all up. So I wanted to get that pizza a little too quick. So
The most frustrating thing is just trying to you know maintain a certain diet, which is it's totally doable though. And
Otherwise everything is going smooth. Yeah, you stay active you stay healthy and
You got to rinse it out with some salt water here and there, you know, you got to brush the teeth around
it's just got to take care of yourself, which if you're able to do that, you'll recover just fine and
Just got to take it easy for a little bit really but all in all been a really smooth process
Smooth recovery so far fingers crossed that it stays that way
I'll keep the guys posted going forward and
in the meantime just want to let everyone know that I'm alive that well that I'm doing good and
that
Procedure to get these teeth taken out was a success
And I'm not in any sort of excruciating pain. Everything is being managed
accordingly and
Yeah, really smooth as a job done
No doubt by professionals and did it. They did a great job and
Great success right there. So I'm very happy with that. I wanted to keep everyone updated. Also, I
Really want to thank you all for the support that's come in
It's it's so crazy every time
and I know it almost feels soo me like
back in November, you know, I had my accident and
It feels like Here I am again
Down for the count a little bit
It just seems a little silly. Like it's just one after the next hopefully all about hopefully this will be it for a while
But I just want to thank you all so much for your support. Just again seeing the messages seeing the emails
Seeing all the comments. It just it blows me away. Thank you so much to everyone out there
who's I've just been wishing me a
smooth and successful recovery so far
It has been just gonna take a little go take it easy with the food reviews and whatnot for a bit
But once I can use the straws again, maybe I'll do some smoothie reviews. You name it?
But just thank you all so much for your support. It means so much to me. I really really appreciate it. So, thank you so
Yeah, honey. Yeah on a final note
I just had to get some water and then by the time I got that I usually have it here
I forgotten then had to reset the camera a little bit
But yeah on a final note
Everything seems to have went good
everything seems to went smooth and
Yeah, hopefully it'll stay that way. Hopefully things just be on the up and up. Hopefully the
Swelling will go down a little bit soon, and I don't be able to sound a little more normal. Talk with a little more ease
And in the meantime just taking it easy. But yeah, I'll be keeping you guys posted
Thank you, though for your understanding. In the meantime. I just kind of give my teeth a little bit of a break
I'm gonna get a lot of fun videos out
Gonna try some different things just ever yeah have a good time. Make the most of it make the best of it right so
that's what the plan is looking like and
interestingly enough
Got some interesting stuff in the mail might want to do a little bit of an unboxing type of video going forward
We'll see and maybe some just other types of review videos
miscellaneous talk
It's just gonna be fun. Give it a shot
Give it a chance and I just wanted to keep you posted on how things went. But look
lastly
Anyone has any dental work coming up? I?
Know that some dentists are better than others. I know that some
Doctors are better than others. Look, I mean in 2016. I had a run-in with a really bad one
But just know this
Check the reviews
See what people are saying
If you go to a good doctor
it's gonna be a breeze trust me there a
Lot of us have dental anxiety I do
but this procedure is something I was worried so much about
When the time actually came I was nervous about the anesthesia. I was worried about the process
Aftercare, it goes by so quick so flawlessly
There's things that make it better
And you know if you just give yourself a little bit of a break
Give your mouth just take it easy eat some soft foods, you know some smoothies, you know, you name it?
