Now that mums been on the steroids for about a week and a half she is feeling good. We went into town to do some shopping today and she walked around really well, with no need for the wheelchair which we had needed last weekend. The only thing now is her mouth.
The dentist ground down her denture again on friday and the left hand side of her mouth is now feeling fine but, unfortunately, the right hand side is still very painful. I suggested that if it's no better on Monday she goes back but she says she's not going back again as there'll be no denture left. We'll see! She has taken his advice and has been keeping the denture out as much as possible, just putting it in to go out and to eat. She has been using the gelclair 3 times a day and also rinsing her mouth with salt water. I just hope the right hand side heals before we go away on holiday next Saturday as she is so looking forward to it and I don't want anything to spoil it for her.
