I am heart sick
| Tue, 03-03-2009 - 5:10pm |
Here is my sad story. First I think God is getting me for bragging on how good I have been paying down the debt and he has decided to give me a whipping.
First about three weeks or so ago, I was eating a taco chip and a sharp point of the chick stabbed my upper gum. It got all red and swelled up. I didn't want to run up a big dentist bill so I just kept washing my mouth out with salt water. But the upper gum didn't get any better. Just got more red and started to really hurt. I told Raymond I better get to the dentist.

I am so sorry to hear about your troubles. I would make the choice based on the best chance to be able to eat and talk, no question. Even if it meant taking longer to get things paid off. Have you met with the dentist that does the implants? I would be really wary about any promises the dentist makes without seeing the situation, and I would try to see what kind of reputation the dentist has, but if you are a good candidate for the implants, that is what I would do. And don't forget to give yourself credit for your savings, too. You did everything you could to be ready for a crisis, which is already hard enough. Best of luck to you!
Oh Mary Ann, I am so, so sorry to hear this...what an unfair shake.
{{{HUGS}}} Mary Ann.
You have really been put through the ringer the past few months.
I think Carolyn has an EXCELLENT idea worth a phone call!
What does a man always say. Do it
Mary Ann, I'm so sorry you are dealing with this.
I'm so sorry! My best advice (and I may be repeating someone else) is to check the "new" dentist out thoroughly for complaints or other actions. I can't remember which organization keeps up with that stuff, but folks can comment and rate medical personnel like they can items on amazon, so I would definitely have a look at that.
Best of luck to you. Your good health is worth every penny.
Goal #1 $UCCE$$!
