yep lack of pain but on the other hand I’m totally exhausted and out of it and have not been myself since Thursday - I don’t know what to make of it - maybe the antibiotics are making me feel weird - in any case I have not bounced back to myself yet though wonderful there is no pain only swelling!

IMO, your body is in a state of "shock", as it would be from any major trauma, and is why you are dragging a little. You many not be recognizing the state of shock because there's no pain but 'dragging a little' is a sure sign your body knows! lol

Your body is working overtime right now, replacing all the RBCs that were lost during surgery, and producing tons of good little wBC 'pac mans' to eat up all the infectious little 'pac mans' who are wanting to attack the bone grafts, tissue/bone around the grafts.

Anesthesia depletes B12 and folic acid, so you might find it beneficial to try upping your usual B12/folic to help fortify your immune system's 'machinery' and to assist in remineralizing the bone around the grafts/implant bolts :)

Again, congrats on your beautiful new teefers!! - they sure beat wooden ones !!
