I go to the periodontist today. I hope to be able to eat hard things again like carrots and things with seeds like berries. I hope to be able to use toothpaste again and to be able to rinse my mouth. 6 weeks has been a long time. After this I will go shopping. When packing a discovered that a pair of pants I bought still had the sensor on them so I need to take them back to get it off.
