Another day, another round. . .

Vanessa has to have oral surgery tomorrow.  While we were in NY, she had a wisdom tooth push through that they had been avoiding taking out because it has grown into the nerve of her face.  It pushed out and then broke off so she has to deal with it - took her this long to get an appointment with an oral surgeon.  She has the surgery tomorrow morning. He can't put her out completely (which he said he prefers to do) at his office because of her Chiari.  She would have to wait 2 more weeks to have it done at the surgery center.  She didn't think she could live through 2 more weeks of this pain, so she opted to have it done tomorrow.  She said he was going to take the tooth out in 2 pieces - hoping to do as little damage to the nerve as possible.  He told her to expect some permanent numbness in her lower lip area.  I'm just going to believe he's wrong and she's going to come through with flying colors.  This will be the first time I haven't been with her during a surgery. I have people out of the office tomorrow so I have to work.  Rick will be with her.  I must be more than a touch worried. . . chocolate doesn't even sound appealing.  Will update on her condition when I get updated.
