Meh, more blood

Ok so this morning there was blood on my side of the bed where I lay my head...not a ton but enough to worry me. I called the hospital and the dr said not to worry. I wish I could not worry! I spit out blood twice yesterday too, just a tiny bit but still. He said I am probably irritating the tissues up underneath the denture when I eat, and truthfully I know that is probably the case because food gets stuck under there all.the.time but in the past bleeding has always = bad stuff, so I cant help but be anxious over it all.

He told me to go get stuff called "super floss", its a really tough floss that I can thread underneath and work back and forth to try and get old food out. I am going to go look today, hopefully I can find some, though I have never heard of it. I am anxious for the real bridge of teeth to be put in, the bottom will go all the way down to the floor of my mouth and I wont have that huge gap underneath so all of these issues will hopefully be resolved then. I just cant shake the nagging feeling that something is wrong, though, and I hate that.

*Sigh. Someone tell me not to worry! :(

Yuck

I spit out a little blood again this morning when I woke up...I rinsed with my medicated mouth rinse and it didnt bleed anymore, then when I laid down again this afternoon to nap when I got home from work (I worked an early shift) I tasted some more blood when I woke up and spit out a little bit. I am worried, but trying not to get too carried away with worry. If it bleeds a lot, I will go in. If not then I will just hope that its irritated tissues again. :( We ate Japanese food last night and I did have a lot of rice get trapped under there, so I am wondering if some may have worked its way in and made the area super sensitive. Hopefully that's all it is. I continually feel like I am on the brink of some new kind of medical disaster- will that feeling ever go away?
