So glad you are home. Joe had a massive oral infection and had to have all his teeth extracted too, many years ago. He developed this problem because his old time dentist, who was actually a friend of his, was afraid to work on him because of Coumadin and kept telling him that everything was fine in his mouth. Surprising but true.
He was in the hospital for quite a while because I remember that they didn't feed him for a couple of days, and he fainted as a result.
So you being home is a good thing.
