It was one year ago when infections cost me single vision. I woke up to a double world. Through rehab and minor surgeries that particular problem is now manageable.
In the initial examination it was determined that the infection had spread to my jaws and I lost all of my teeth. The bones were scraped and posts drilled in to my lower mandible in order to secure dentures. That process took almost a year. This morning was to be the final fitting and denture installation, but the bacteria has returned in colonies. The pegs and a portion of the jaw were removed and grafts put in. It will take about six months to heal and then the peg process will begin again.
So … another 18 months of surgeries and rebuilding. What am I learning?
