Dear Pam,
Sending hugs.
And hoping that you get some good news and good fortune soon.
M.

Sorry about the tooth Pam.

And sorry if I came across to strong. Hoping you can locate a new company.

Donna

Thank you both for the hugs, I really am just sick over losing another tooth. I really didn't need this right now. But that seems to be when things like this happen you know?

It's okay Donna, you inspire me to try to be more assertive, I am working on assertiveness training with my tdoc and so I am trying harder to become aware of my reactions to people. Thank you for your honesty.

I will post again when I know when the appt for the extraction will be. Wish me luck on that.

*Sigh* Sept. 1st. I am going to be in agony by that time. It's so unfair I can't get in sooner. I am so upset.

Dear Pam,
I hope that Sept 1 comes quickly for you.
Mari

Pam I'm sorry its going to me so long.

And I'm glad that I didn't upset you. I forget sometimes that when someone
has stress and anxiety issues. Its really hard to be assertive too.

Donna

THanks Mari, Thanks Donna, it's so hard to wait, I just hate that I lost this tooth, Bryanna from the dental forum mentioned that I might have a dead nerve since it's not hurting and I have to agree it's got to be dead to be THIS EXPOSED and NOT hurting. That means I could be festering a real bad infection, I hope not, it doesn't hurt yet but it could be coming if I don't do salt rinses and stuff. I just hate that I am gonna end up with dentures, part of me wants to just GET It over with you know? ANd just GET the darn things made already so I can resume eating normally. THis trying to eat around gaping holes stinks. *sigh*

Pam

I do have to make one comment. I hate the fact that you have to
wait till September. But I also see a hidden fact in that its not hurting.

My daughter-in-law like Sabrina, went to a new dentist just last month.
And he xrayed her mouth because of it being a new one for her.
And she has been having problems, with this one tooth for over a year.

It turned out the old dentist had left the root in after taking the tooth
out. She has been in pain all this time. And had been calling trying
to get answers. And the guy was not trying to help. Pretty much told
her it was in her head.

Now she has to have surgery to get this taken care of.

Suffice to say she wont ever see that guy again. Nor will her kids, thats
the bad thing. Because of medicaid she was having to take the kids too.

Donna

It's a good thing that nerve is dead IMO, I really could be suffering excruciating pain otherwise. Nerves can really hurt like no other pain. I am glad to report that we went to the pool yesterday, today and are going again tomorrow too! It's awesome! Jackie has probably lost more weight, we'll see we'll weigh him again soon and I'll let you all know.
