Overcoming Fears and Embracing Milestones

Dental Surgery, Recovery, and Celebrating 57 Years

On Wednesday evening, I underwent dental surgery to have all 10 of my remaining teeth removed. I was incredibly nervous about having them extracted all at once, but I'm happy to report that my recovery is going well so far. The healing process is smoother than I anticipated, and I'm experiencing far less discomfort than I feared. Thankfully, they put me under for the procedure, which was truly a blessing.

I want to give a huge shoutout to my #cwh family for all the well wishes and support—it means so much to me! This week also marked another milestone as I celebrated my 57th birthday! Some days I feel like I'm 18, while other days I feel like I'm 98.

Today's podcast, Creative Work Hour, was a true test to see how my voice—altered or not—would hold up after the procedure. If you'd like to listen to today's episode, check out @AlessandraWhite's post. We had a wonderful reading by @gretchenshepherd as part of our mini-series exploring the power of words.

What a great post! And truly, we couldn’t hear any difference in your speech on the broadcast.

Thanks for sharing this Greg. Oral surgery is no joke and it is so great to see that others are going through the same challenges.
