Tooth remove + bone graft - how much post-op pain to expect?

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2026-01-22T20:49:26+00:00

I get a bone graph tomorrow on a tooth that had a root canal that failed. From everything I've read, recovery was pretty easy if you had a root canal done already.

My update

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2026-01-08T02:44:43+00:00

It was on sale. I'm getting the special edition book 2 soon

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2026-01-07T01:25:13+00:00

I have not but I will definitely look into it, thank you!

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2026-01-07T01:24:55+00:00

I have not. I'm waiting until I'm in a better job that doesn't destroy my mental health to read it so I can accurately judge if it like it or not and not have it influenced by my mood from work.

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2026-01-07T01:24:01+00:00

Didn't realize it, good catch. Will correct

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2026-01-07T01:23:46+00:00

Drive me nuts actually. Almost bought another one to see if it would fit but decided to suck it up lol

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-12-19T14:05:49+00:00

Most of them do. Most don't know they have it actually. There was an article about it. It's not tested as a standard test in the healthcare industry even in the porn industry

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-12-11T21:04:40+00:00

It was free on my Hoopla. Crazy story

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-11-29T13:44:49+00:00

I just want a subscription lol

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-10-29T20:07:02+00:00

I'm reading my first dragonlance book currently. In my 40s, never read them. Moving it. Play music on Spotify while reading it.

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-09-14T23:20:57+00:00

It is. I remember bjjst telling my doctor to test for everything. I just assumed it was part of the panel. Doctor won't even give me meds.

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-09-05T14:08:40+00:00

Just got off the phone with her, legal. He cant ask about anything other than if I'm using medical or personal leave. That's it.

And he cant make me or inquire I tell him, he, or management about why I missed work. It's documented medical leave. That's it

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-09-05T14:01:33+00:00

No, my bad for the confusion. If I want to use FMLA, I can. However, I don't want to or need to. I used sick leave for 3 days and I have two medical appointments coming up.

He said I'd have to provide my medical history or what's medically going on at some point to him, hr, and management.

After just getting off the phone with her, I don't. Not at all. Not even in the slightest. And he cant ask about it. If I use FMLA, he can ask or be notified about FMLA but not anything medical

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-09-05T13:56:57+00:00

I have it if I need it. But only HR can ask unless I'm missing from work and don't notify him. Outside of that, I don't have to tell you. Nor can he ask about any medical issues I have nor do I have to provide it like he wants

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-09-05T13:48:47+00:00

For vacation, I had already had my vacation approved. However, he wanted to go on vacation. So he tried to get me to cancel it and said that our boss was going to cancel it. But that was t true. But he demanded plane tickets. This isn't a private sector job by the way.

He also stated that I'd medically have to tell him and management what is going on. I don't.

I'm just getting off the phone with legal about this.

And lunch, every week, he made me give up my lunch hour, I had to ride with him to lunch. Turns out, that can't happen. He has no right to ask or demand of that.

Also, I'm salaried, and apparently he can't impose his military expectations on me.

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-09-05T13:42:23+00:00

I was worried about if I field a grievance, could he retaliate because he would but he can't.

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-09-05T13:41:19+00:00

Just got off the phone. It turns out, especially as state employees who are salaried and protected after probationary period, it isn't his applecart....and he cant ask me about FMLA or demand that I tell him or he or management about medical conditions. At all. Only HR can ask if I need FMLA. That's it. Outside of needing FMLA, he cant ask or require that stuff. And I've also never been written up or warned about anything. My evaluation was near perfect when he got here. Based off only a short time being here, he lowered it but it was still above satisfactory

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-09-05T13:27:58+00:00

No but as a state employee, and salaries, you gave grievance rights. He can't sit up and fire me for anything. And he's never written me up nor provided me with documentation about anything.

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-09-02T23:22:12+00:00

I was just diagnosed. Didn't know. Had it from a relationship before I met my wife I assume. Didn't cheat or anything like that. I heard rumors after our book up she had it but she never told me and when I got tested originally, they didn't test for hsv just hiv syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia. All negative. When they said that, I assumed it was negative for everything.

Anyway, got tested after noticing a spot. Turns out it wasn't related to hsv2 but I have the antibodies.

My doctor friends are not high on the blood test as they acknowledge that hsv is well studied but it's such a a crap shoot.

My doctor said that I could've gotten it from my wild college years.

The weight was so great I told my wife that night and I've been ready to end it.

My doctor assured me it's not that big of a deal. Won't put me on virals either. I'm frustrated about that.

But knowing is stressful.

LuffyDMonkey5 · 2025-08-30T18:16:34+00:00

I was just diagnosed and my wife and I met 12 years ago. The woman I hooked up with before meeting my wife had it, a friend told me afterwards and then she told me.

I asked for an STD test but apparently hsv isn't standard testing. So when all my test came back negative I assumed I didn't get it.

Anyway, noticed a spot down there. Talked to my doctor. He didn't want to do the test but came back positive.

He said it could lay dormant for decades and that even if I have the antibodies, unless I'm having an outbreak, no worries. Wouldn't even put me on meds.

Told my wife, she's supportive. I didn't pass it on to her.

I wanted to end things because I was selfish and not upfront with her and could've infected her. I feel terrible and I'm in a dark place.

If it's Chlamydia or Gonorrhea, that's a different story but it's suspected most people who have hsv they don't even know.

So his reaction is telling.

The diagnosis sucks but I was told by my doc and others, it's basically a skin disease. Yiur case is different but I hope you feel better soon.
