I got back to my flat today.
Have washed, dried and put away the laundry I brought back.
Had a nap.
Picked bit of suture off my tongue as the dissolving ones are now coming off as I was warned that they would over the week. as they are coming off the gap between gum flap is opening up a bit revealing an uncomfortable amount of the membrane, making it unsettlingly clear how little is holding in the bone graft material. The information I was given just says that the membrane is extracted from cows - which is vague is a way that is more creepy that the human corpse way of the bone graft material.
A bit of reading up on it and I think it is mostly bovine collagen. So I am part human zombie and part cow.
The permission form I signed on the day (which I have since got a copy of) included plans to also use porcine derived material to aid the graft, but they were out of stock. So I miss out on also being part Miss Piggy.
