turns out the cadaver bone graft really likes my jaw. we’re are one!
all the missing jaw bone that had dissolved away from the infection that i never felt has now been replaced with bone grown from the cadaver graft.

336/365. i am a human/cadaver hybrid that feels no pain.
did i, or did I not, swallow a cadaver bone graft? back visiting the oral surgeon and it turns out, i’m all clear! I am fused with the cadaver graft! which, i guess, makes me a human/cadaver hybrid.
when i told the oral surgeon i hadn’t taken any pain medicine because i hadn’t felt any pain she looked surprised a little skeptical, “maybe you should just be happy you’re not in pain. you’re unusually lucky.”
“i don’t think you understand how much I can overthink this.”
335/365. this is bananas! more adventures with a cadaver bone graft.
while i was talking on a phone call at work with a lot of participants, the stitches came unstitched and the membrane holding the cadaver bone graft to my mandible popped out. i think i spontaneously muttered something like, “oh [BLEEP], something just fell out my mouth,” to everyone on the call.
it’s not clear if I swallowed the cadaver graft 🙁
soooooo, back to oral surgeon tomorrow. in an uncharacteristic display of restraint I won’t take a picture of membrane.
with a gaping hole in my mouth, i’m back to diet consisting entirely of mushy bananas and yogurt.
still no pain though!
