Hi everyone,
I’m day 5 post op. I’m improving finally but I’m still very concerned about dry socket. I had all four removed, including two impacted on the bottom.
My top sockets are almost completely closed, I do not worry about them, they barely trap food. My bottom right incision was once a gaping hole is now closed.. but my left incision, if you can call it that, is still wide open. It’s literally a dark gaping hole a few centimeters wide. It traps disgusting amounts of food debris, like I have to use the syringe 5-6 times just to be sure everything is out. It is so unappealing I actually dread eating until I can’t hold off.
Anyway, I’ve been dying to smoke a joint(marijuana). I do not smoke cigarettes. When will I be able to safely do so without being so paranoid? my paperwork only specifies for nicotine. As it’s just a black hole, I’ve never even seen the blood clot, for all I know it’s not there at all. But I have minimal pain, just a dull ache, and no blood.
When can I safely smoke an joint, and should I use gauze over the hole? Can my surgeon stitch this hole up? It hasn’t decreased in size in five days. Any advice is appreciated.
