Update on dental problem


Posted: Aug 17, 2010

Well, I got through the whole bone graft procedure better than I thought I would thanks to an excellent dentist who made my whole face numb.  I didn't feel a thing.  It also helped that I thought of people less fortunate than myself who have to endure much worse on a daily basis.  If anyone ever has to deal with this I wish you luck and, take it from me, it is almost always worse in your own mind that it actually is in reality.

Has anyone ever undergone a dental procedure and had to have a bone graft?  I have to and am not looking forward to it.  Sounds horrible. ...

Update On Dog Food ProblemMar 08, 2011
Well, the very next day, DH went to get Blue Buffalo and instead came home with a 5 lb. bag of 4health ($6) and Taste of the Wild  ($12) instead (he always listens to sales people). We started her on 4health and she didn't touch it the first day unless we put in 1/2 can of wet and veggies. The second day she ate it with no problem. She also seems to be 'full' after eating and isn't crying or whining. The next day, she didn't even touch her breakfast until after lun ...

Dental Insurance?Jul 27, 2015

In Need Of Dental Work But Can't Afford ItOct 05, 2011
I am in desperate need of dental work but have absolutely no money. I need 12 crowns on top and 2 on the bottom. I don't have a job, and I don't have insurance. I have nobody to borrow from or to apply to one of those dental credit plans for me. Do I have any solutions? Does Medicaid pay for dental work? ...

Opinions About Dental PracticeMar 12, 2013
Hello...A while ago I thought someone had started a thread about going to the dentist.  I was going to add on to it but couldn't find it, so I will start a new topic. My (former) dentist sends reminder letters to come in for your routine exam and cleaning, as many dentists do.  I really like him and I think he does a really good job, but the wording of the letters always puts me off, it's something like, "you worked hard for your benefits, come in and use your insurance befor ...

Any Experience With Dental Implants? Mar 31, 2014
I am considering this.  Does anyone have any comments regarding experience, suggestions, satisfaction, or ideas as to cost?  Thanks.  (I typically sit in the dentist's chair and literally tremble).  I want to do this, but I am terrified.  ...

Dental Extractions/DenturesJul 22, 2015
If someone gets their teeth extracted, do they get their dentures that day or do they have to walk around toothless for a spell? How long does the bleeding last? How long does the pain last? Thank you for answering. ...

Liberals Push Dental Coverage For All, Health Insurance For Illegals--And MoreJan 20, 2015
At a time when Republicans are trying to roll back certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act (if not the entire law), a liberal advocacy group is looking ahead to the next round of taxpayer-subsidized health care "reform." Families USA says the ACA was a good start, but it has now outlined 19 specific proposals "to improve health care for everyone in our nation." The plan, called Health Reform 2.0, would "improve coverage and extend care." That means making dental coverage universall ...

Update And Asking For More Help. Sep 24, 2010
I posted this  a couple months ago. Basically, it's about being depressed, having socially anxiety (or maybe avoidant personality disorder). http://forum.mtstars.com/245664.html Well, instead of getting help then, I decided to get another MT job to try one more time. And I am getting worse. I realize I need to get help now, or my life is not going to go anywhere. I'm starting to have more suicidal thoughts and anxiety attacks. I don't have money to go to a doctor. I know I ...

E-cig UpdateJul 26, 2010
Since this thread started last week, I ordered, received, and have been using e-cigs for 4 days.  They're awesome.  I've smoked since a teenager - before cigarettes were taboo.  Since working at home, I was smoking 2+ packs a day.  I'm now smoking maybe 8 cigarettes a day, with absolutely no withdrawal.  When I smoke a real cig now, it's more of a choice rather than a necessity.  When I run out of my cigs, I won't be buying a new supply ...

Update On HJ Res. 15Jan 07, 2013
Did some more research on this and apparently Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) is simply a fanatic about repealing the 22nd amendment.  He actually has tried this before (HJ Res. 5) back in 2009, so I'm guessing it'll get about as far this time as it did last time. I would, however, like to have a discussion about the pros and cons of this bill - apparently there are some that would like to see this amendment repealed.  I'm actually for more term limits - senate, house, supreme ...

Update On MILJan 13, 2013
As you know, she has a new diagnosis with Alzheimer's and am getting her started on coconut oil,  well coconut oil gelcaps, as that was what was available at the store at the time.   Anyway, not a moment too soon.  Just needed to vent a little.  Where to start!  SHE GAVE ALL HER CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FROM ME AWAY!!!!  Her greatest need at this time was warm winter sweaters, sweatshirts, layering pieces like turtlenecks and long-sleeved Tees to wear underneath ...

Just An UpdateAug 06, 2013
I posted a few times on the prayer board about being abused by my sister for as long as I can remember.  Several of you encouraged me to see a therapist, and today was my first visit.   I chose the therapist's name from a list of providers given to me by my insurance company.  I did not know anything about her.  I can say based on our session today that I am extremely pleased.  She is just wonderful.  It was a very difficult session for me, having to give ...

Update On New JobJun 25, 2014
Hi all in MT land: I am here just to stop in and say hi. I had posted awhile back about giving my notice and moving onto a new (and better) job. My last day with my MTSO was Friday the 13th. I started my new job June 9th and stayed on to help finish out the pay period. My last day I posted a message on IM about it being my last day and goodbye everyone kind of thing and didn't hear a peep. Not one message. I don't care, it's not like I was expecting anything, but not even one m ...

Another Update On MeMay 18, 2016
Well, my legs and ankles are mostly normal now. I think I lost 10-15 pounds and took finally four Torsemide two morning and two in afternoon to do it. I have diastolic heart failure and that plus my low potassium threw me into a bad spell with swelling that would not go down. I do feel some better though. I still have the hives and now they are really bothering me badly. I went to the drug store and finally got some CVS brand Allegra 180 mg. I found reviews saying it was good for hives since ...

Update On New Profession ..... SMJan 30, 2012
Hi everyone, I am the one who posted a few weeks ago about going for the job with my State as a dispatcher. Good news!!!!! I had my polygraph today and I PASSED, lol. Yes, I was nervous, of course, because I realize that these are not 100% accurate but I decided ahead of time to just take a deep breath, be completely honest and it worked. I am so excited and hoping (with the way things are going) to be out of this field before the end of February (or earlier, hopefully). I believe that the ...

Another Update On New ProfessionApr 11, 2012
Well, it has been a month, short of 5 days, that I walked away from the medical field and medical transcription after over 23 years.  I have to say that it has been the best thing that I have done for myself and my family in forever.  The work schedule is a little screwy (dispatcher for law enforcement) but with no small kids and my husband already in law enforcement for 27 years, it has been adaptable for us.  The first week was spent becoming certified on state and national comm ...

Update On Dog Food...no Go.Mar 21, 2011
Won't touch the 4Health or Taste of the Wild. So, we're done spending a fortune on dog food. We're going back to Beneful. It seems to be the only thing she likes. Thank heavens, we only bought the small bags and they are gone now. On the positive side, as long as she's not eating much, she might lose some weight.  LOL ...

Update To My Post BelowMar 10, 2011
Thanks to all your messages below.  Here's an update.  We have a small bowl of food out for her.  I just could not stand to wonder if she is starving.  So now we know she isn't.  She is still skiddish, but it warming up to us.  She doesn't run unless we make a movement toward her.  If we stand still and talk to her she will sit and watch us and not run.   She does appear a little thin, but at least I am more comfortable knowing if she i ...

Is It Proper - UpdateJan 29, 2010
I wrote awhile back asking if it was proper to send relatives a sympathy card.  Just wanted to let you know I took all your advice, wrote some nice words about my cousin and heard that my card and words were greatly appreciated and touched their hearts.  On a sadder note, I heard from two of my brothers that unfortunately they believe my cousins death was most likely a suicide.  There is too much evidence leading, but his brother, sister and mom went over to clean up his apartment ...

Update On MammographyNov 23, 2010
Yesterday I went for my repeat films after receiving a call last Monday concerning an area of concern.  The possible nodule again was seen on yesterday's films.  They did an ultrasound which did not pick it up. The radiologist said he does not think we are dealilng with anything serious, but has advised me to return in six months for repeat films.  Now we have a baseline set of films for comparison in May.   Thanks so much for caring.  ...

Here's An Update On The FightApr 08, 2011
It goes by minutes...and by the way, I noticed that the Cherry Blossom Festival will go on.....Reid was so worried about it not happening. On the other Reid comment about women's health and pubs want to take away that funding.  Planned Parenthood is VERY involved in abortion and unplanned pregnancies besides providing other services to women. If so, this is where most of the fight is all about now, and this is why they want to unfund PP. If PP wouldn't provide abortions, then the ...

Update On TinyApr 07, 2011
Yesterday Tiny received one dose of Lysodren, 1/4 pill.  She actually vomited a few times the day before she ever received it.  The vet said don't give her any dinner that night until her belly settles down, and then Wednesday give her the first dose. This morning my stepfather called me and told me he had to take Tiny to the hospital before 8:30 this morning.  She had vomited huge amounts in the kitchen apparently overnight, very early in the morning.  She was weak and ...

Update On NYC ParkingAug 16, 2010
Just thought I'd let everyone one know that I found a very close parking lot near by (only a block away from the theater).  Thank you to to those who gave me google advice.  It was $35 for the night.  I should have paid better attention though.  To make al ong story short, I had to move my car because the lot closed at midnight and the concert was just ending at 11:45 so at about 8:00 I moved my car and found that parking is free after 7:30 on the streets.  There wa ...

Update On Our Pregnant CatApr 19, 2011
Just in case some were wondering how the stray cat that was pregnant is doing... We have not seen her in a few days.  She was getting pretty big and we were thinking she would have them any time now.  We set up boxes and old towels in different areas just in case.  She looked pretty content, we would look out to find her laying on our lawn in the sun with her big belly :-) and then at night time curled up on our porch, but she has not been around for a few days now.  There i ...

Update On Getting A KittenJul 15, 2010
Just wanted all of you who responded to my post and were so kind after the death of my cat on Sunday that we have a new addition to the family.  I decided to look at our local pet store yesterday on my lunch hour.  It must have been fate.  I was looking for a tortoise shell kitten (I've always loved the colors) and one was just brought in within a half an hour before I got there.  The woman who brought her in was a foster mother to her and her brothers and sisters.  ...
