Oh don’t give it a second thought. You are not bugging me. I have other things going on this week and have been traveling so I don’t always get back with a response right away.
Don’t dwell on your teeth issue too much. Mayo dental will be involved with the mandible resection and can help you determine the best path forward, which may include dentures or partials. You can’t build a strong house without a good foundation.
They will or should ask if you are alone at pre surgery as there is help for you if needed. Going home from hospital you will need help and that will be roughly five days post surgery, perhaps a day or two more. If you don’t have assistance then I believe they make other arrangements for you such as a transfer to a rehabilitation or nursing facility temporarily until you are walking well and done with the feeding tube. They can certainly answer any questions pre surgery so take notes and explain your situation.
For me I had several return trips over several months. About six months of healing before my teeth prosthetic was started, which was also a few appointments as well. None of this is fixed in a week or even a month. Just take it one step at a time.
