Maintain regular oral hygiene except for the surgical area, eat soft foods (as if I could eat anything else!), what to expect in terms of bleeding and swelling , not to smoke and not to exercise for at least 24 hours. The doctor gave me his cellular number and advised me to call at any time... day or night, for any reason. Oh, and I wasn't supposed to spit, either!
Nothing unusual happened. There was no need to dial that emergency mobile number, thankfully.
I was confident with my surgeon, something I should have mentioned from the start. He reassured me at every stage of the procedure, has a wall of diplomas and a serene chairside manner. This all added to the feeling that I was in very good hands which was important. Since I had just remortgaged my house for this I needed to feel it was all going to be worth it.
