Getting there, thank you! Finally able to eat chocolate on one side my my mouth, so long as I avoid the massive hole on the other side, so the world is a brighter place again! How are yours doing? Healed up from the work you had done now?
Are you going to get prosthetics?
Mine are pretty much completely healed. Itβs still a bit uncomfortable to fully open up, and the stitches arenβt entirely out yet, but I feel fine. Iβve been off the painkillers for a week already
I havenβt decided yet and I donβt know what the dentist is going to recommend. Given how the NHS works here, itβs down to what they deem βclinically necessaryβ it might be that they say that I can chew fine with only two molars and that the gap is only cosmetic, in which case Iβd have to way a lot of money to have a bridge put in privately. I think if I was going to get an implant, it would have to be done soon, before bone starts to regrow in that area, from what Iβve heard. Itβs a pretty big gap, since itβs my first molar on my lower right side, so Iβm sort of hoping they offer me a bridgeβ¦ if itβs the choice between a gap and a single denture though, Iβll stick with the gap to be honest.

Finally back in the swing of things.
I cleared 200 reviews off today and got a lot of items burned, huzzah!
Iβm on day four after having a lower molar yanked out and so Iβm slowly recovering my ability to eat and consequently my ability to have energy to focus on anything. I aim to get back into daily updates now after a couple of false starts over the past two months and Iβm hoping to follow through with the more modest goals Iβve set for 2021.
Thank you to everyone who showed concern for my well being over the times Iβve slacked, I genuinely appreciate having people give me kicks to get back on track!

As happy as I am with the amount that went up to burned, I canβt ignore that fact that a quarter went back down to Guru or lower, oops!
Itβs crazy that molars arenβt always considered essential. I hope they will be reasonable.
They said the same thing about my jaw. The dentist recommended it to be covered, but itβs up to the jaw doctor to decide if itβs necessary or just cosmetic. If itβs not covered it will be at least ten thousand pounds.
Yeah, itβs the same thing here - thereβs no hard and fast rule about it and itβs up to the dentist to decide what is clinically necessary under the NHS charging model. I suspect that dentists get a bit shafted in terms of what they can charge back. The NHS charges me Β£66 whether the dentist does an extraction or a root canal - one thing takes a dentist 15mins, the other takes then 3hrs. Without knowing how the charging works and billable hours work, I canβt say for sure, but I suspect they usually opt for what takes the least time.
That said, weβre both young, Iβd like to hope that in both our cases they see it as a good investment in our ongoing health to do whatever gives us the best prognosis.
Yeah! I just have to not tell them Iβm leaving the country
Iβd find it a weird question for them to ask, so Iβm sure youβll be fine, hehe
exactly what they said to me
in france, iβd get a toof put in there to stop things shifting but in the UK. nope.

Being so exhausted of all this gum trauma healing means Iβm failing to post these before bed, alas, so this is what Iβd have written last night. As things return to normality with me, hopefully I can get back into the habit of writing at the right time of day again. Itβs not like I donβt have a repeating Todoist task reminding me every day at 10pm.
I havenβt managed to replicate my strong 200 reviews start, but Iβve got the number sub 1500 at least.
Things are moving, at least, and moving prevents stagnation.

If youβre noticing that burned count is increasing the most of all, itβs because Iβm ordering reviews by ascending level.
Healing is exhausting
At least when I was healing from elbow surgery I could eat whatever the hell I wanted.

Still on the βposting these as a retrospectiveβ trend, Iβm afraid. On the plus side, I can just about eat biscuits again, so my life is improving. Next stop, pizza.
I didnβt get much done yesterday as I was snowed under with work, catching back up after a week of sick leave followed by a week of annual leave. Iβve only managed to knock 50 or so reviews off each day the last two days, but on the other hand most of the reviews are from early levels and are thus not popping back up up on account of being burned.
I really want to get all these cleared out so I can go back to lessons and actually stand a chance of hitting some of the leader board challenges, but on the other hand, those are very arbitrary and Iβm not going to Japan any times soon. Iβm going to focus more on not burning out, in the short term, I think.

Despite healing being a pain, it must be really nice to be rid of the pain you were in before the surgery
Undeniably! Iβll take uncomfortable teeth on edge throbby feeling over wracking my temple with migraine like pain any day of the week ^-^
Oh father of monsters, how are your toofs? And Japanese?
Oh @Kumirei, mother of rickrolls, my toofs are doing okay, how about yours?
My Japanese not so much⦠I repented my failings and then failed my repenting.
Well my last appointment had to be rescheduled due to mom catching the covids, but Iβm going to try again in two weeks
It is time to get back on the uma!
Okay, here is an easy exit out for youβ¦
β¦ how is that journey going? Still valid?
I actually havenβt logged on to WoW for about a month now.
