So today I went for the 3rd phase of my surgery: the placement of the abutments and impressions.
Like I mentioned in my previous dental post, I had screws drilled into my gums. Those screws are holding the abutments, and the abutments will in turn be the base for the porcelains.

Needless to say, I was already used to the procedure, since this would be the third time that they'd cut my gums open. I'm not sure what was different about the procedure this time, but I felt very light-headed and nauseous. I was put on 2L of oxygen via a nasal cannula.
