Re: A delay on my dentures and a Mayo Clinic consult question

[Guest guest]

Does your gi doc realize that you have 2 such loosely and obviously

inflamed(ie the pain) molers in your mouth now. I would think to

reduce the risks of any infection or any current infectio becoming

systemic he would agree that those two should be removed more sooner

then later. Mayber your oral surgeon should give a call to your gi

doc to make sure he understands everything entirely. However, I

think your gi doc is wise to suggest they all be done as a surigcal

procedure. A total odenectomy is no small procedure.

Call your gi';s nurse or secretary and have them send the ct films

and other films to the mayo clinic. They are HUGE and difficult to

carry. I couldn't imagine trying to get those as carry on or even

to check them with your luggage not to mention having to tote them

around during your vacation. Oh and Costa Rico has alwaysed

intrigued me but I love the sea and am an avid bird watcher.

I would think that the Mayo doc will want some tests of his own so

planning to stay till the next day at the least cant hurt. If your

dentist wants to send you to MUSC's dental surgery clinic let me

know, I have worked with those guys a lot in the OR and can

reccommend some one for you if you like. But I would surly want

those molers out soon, just makes good sense to me.

Well I'm trying to finalize my plans for cincy and yes I am giving

myself extra time unless they want more tests as well. Its going to

be hard trying to figure out how I will get to the airport as Billy

is working and doesn't want my car to stay there for 3 days. He can

be a difficult pain in the butt sometimes. Why is it that the

little things can be the most irritating.

I've been very sick this week, I was hoping it would clear up

alittle before my trip. I've already doubled up on the zofran and

am waiting to hear from my pcp about refilling my pain meds and the

zofran as well. Shes taking it right down to the last minute before

she will write them. Ihope she increases the dose then.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

I just wanted to reply to your Mayo Clinic question. I went to the

Mayo Clinic in ville about 3 weeks ago. I saw Dr. Wallace in

the gastro dept. I stayed in Florida for 1 week and it took that

much time to do all the daily tests procedures etc. It was actually

a Monday thru Friday thing but I had gone down the weekend before.

I am about 14 hours away and they did ask me how much time I had

before returning home. I stayed at the Inn at Mayo Clinic which is

a hotel that is on the clinic campus and it was the best decision

for me. I was in walking distance of all of my appts although I had

one procedure that was done at the St. Luke's Hospital a few miles

away. If you have any other questions please let me know......I've

been there done that!!
