My ridiculous transplant Surgeries!
Girls this is really stupid how all these transplanted surgeries got started. I am embarrassed and mortified and humiliated to find myself in such a predicament. I look like a crack hore now… And it is all William’s fault because he bought me the beef jerky that attacked me.
In March I was in an accident with some beef jerky. You see when I bit down and tore off a piece of beef jerky with my front teeth… my front tooth broke off below the gum line. Boy did that hurt. William and I just got done watching “COPS†on t.v…. so when my front tooth broke off he couldn’t quit laughing at me because he said I looked like a crack hore that was just on COPS. You see crack hores on COPS don’t have front teeth. Errrrrr…. Isn’t that a mean thing to say to me?
Well I can’t allow myself to look this bad so…
I went to a specialist to reconstruct my mouth. You see Gum tissue was ripped out of my mouth when my teeth vacated my body so there was nothing left of the front tooth to cap. The whole tooth had to be replaced along with the missing gum tissue…. Err…
All the doc had to do was to… remove the tissue from the roof of my mouth…. and transplant that tissue … and sew it on the area of my mouth where there wasn’t any gum tissue. Plus he had to drill a hole into my jaw and insert a mental gizmo so later he could implant the new tooth. An easy very simple surgery… nothing complicated about this at all.
Before he started working on restoring my mouth to its original state I told him about my run in with a Ca-MRSA infection and flesh eating bacteria a couple years ago and that part of my body had to be amputated in order to save my life. I told him that he had to take special precautions to make sure that I would not get an infection after this surgery… because my body now might be immune to antibiotics. But no… this doctor did not listen to me… I think this doc just thought I was a drama queen or something and did not take my medical history seriously. William even tried talking to the doctor about my health problems but I could see it in the doctor’s eyes that he did not believe a word we told him about how my body works.
Well you guessed it… the transplanted tissue and metal implant in my jaw got infected and all hell broke loose. I had to have 4 invasive surgeries just to remove the infected transplanted tissue and the infected metal gear he had drilled into my jaw so he could screw in a new tooth.. So now I am in worst shape then what I was before I saw this doctor.
This infection and surgeries to remove the infection went on for months until finally one day I got brains enough to see my primary doctor. Can we spell stupid! Boy was I sick… I was running a high fever for months and I felt like ca-ca. My primary doctor put me on a stronger antibiotic and it seemed to have worked. But while I was under the care of my primary doctor he decides to call my oral surgeon. Now looking back on this I don’t think my primary doctor calling this oral surgeon to see what was going on with me was a good idea… because now the oral surgeon is not doing any more tissue transplants or teeth implant surgeries on me until???? I don’t know when…
William and I went to see the oral surgeon a couple of weeks ago and he took x-rays and told me that my mouth was not healing so he decided not to go ahead with the next tissue transplant surgery until it does. Hummm…. Plus he kept repeating to us over and over again that nothing like this has ever happen to him… Yeah right? If he would have just listened to me about how my body was going to react to the tissue gum transplant surgery then none of this would of gotten out of hand and I wouldn’t be laying here now looking like a crack hore. Errr.. err… errr… Why don’t doctors listen to us women when we tell them about our bodies?
I would go to another oral surgeon but we had to pay this oral surgeon thousands of dollars cash up front before the first oral surgery took place so we would be out 8 thousand dollars because this doctor is not about to give us our money back. So we are stuck with this doctor. We don’t have dental insurance and our medical insurance will not cover teeth being ripped out of mouths by dangerous pieces of beef jerky so here I sit…. Twiddling my fingers until this doc decides to make me beautiful again. Ha ha ha!... I know at my age that making me beautiful again would be an impossible task even for a plastic surgeon ha ha ha ha!!!errr… errr… errrrr….
So that’s my story errrr….!
Can any of you girls relate to my story or am I the only chick on planet earth that has problems with doctors not listening to them?

I know what it's like to not have a doctor listen to you.It happens to me ALL THE FICKEN TIME.
Then when some thing goes wrong.The doctors say I should have listened to you.I'm sorry.
I know my body an how it reacts to stuff.I've had it for 52 years so far!
It's terrible what has happened to you.Stay strong
HI Lei
Sorry this had to happen to you. Sometimes no matter what Drs think they know best.
Dental implants are something that can easily become infected after all they are in our mouths. Hope it gets clear up soon and you can be looking good again.
HUGS
As usual Lei, the word simple seems to escape you. What an ordeal to go thru. Hope all heals soon, don't want you out lookin for crack to cope. ;-0
Please let us know how it goes.
