What a long day.....

The surgeon removed some of my sutures that had become infected.  He then burned the granulomas with silver nitrate and sent me on my way  :)

Hope this cures it all!

It was only 4 hours in car total - but 3 hours in the waiting room. I've learned thoug and brought a bunch of my necklace parts with so that I could fill orders as I waited!

My granulomas are both bigger now and I have a third. The two he worked on - I was able to dig out small pieces of the sutures that were still embedded.

I actually changed my appliance routine to accommodate. I used powder on the granulomas, tincture everywhere else, a tighter cut for the wafer & a barrier ring that I mushroomed prior to application. Ped was very snug like a bug in a rug. LOL.
