13751. arkymalarky - 2/8/2005 11:36:42 PM The crown is making me sick. Even with dental insurance it's going to cost two or three hundred dollars. I thought about telling him to just pull it, but I've only had one very back one pulled and I really don't want to get that started. This tooth has been bothering me a long time and has been unbearably sensitive for months. He redid a cavity there, but it just didn't work. I finally got to hurting bad enough and constantly enough last week that I called, and sure enough I had an abcess. 13752. wonkers2 - 2/8/2005 11:53:24 PM The crown is worth the cost. If done properly it will last for a long time. You don't want to lose a tooth. 13753. thoughtful - 2/8/2005 11:53:52 PM Well, fortunately, the crown should last a good long time....hopefully a lifetime.
Dentist was nice enough to give me the old one...like I really know what to do with an old crown. Remelt it and make earrings??? Heck it's not even useful as a paper weight! 13754. prolph - 2/9/2005 9:34:25 AM Greetings former fraysters and present moties.
I haven't posted since November when I cleverly fell down twice and put myself out of comission for December and January. Nothing broken except my pride but both hurt. I now keep my cane with me inside with
me instead of just walks oudoors. Seems like I might have figured that out aftter the first fall. Sigh. various bugs, Patsy 13755. wabbit - 2/9/2005 9:50:08 AM Hey Patsy! I'm happy to hear the falls didn't break anything. Have you gone to Florida yet? 13756. Magoseph - 2/9/2005 3:01:30 PM Hello, Patsy, I'm glad to hear from you.
Hello, everyone! 13757. Macnas - 2/9/2005 3:41:42 PM Hello Mago. 13758. thoughtful - 2/9/2005 3:56:41 PM Patsy, always a pleasure to hear from you. Glad you survived the fall! 13759. judithathome - 2/9/2005 4:48:19 PM Hey, Patsy, good to hear you didn't break anything!
Speaking of which, I had an xray Monday and though I'm disappointed the hole is still there on my tibia, the doctor was very happy that it has reduced by half since August. I go back in a year and he is confident it will be gone by then.
He also told me he fully expected me to be back in the last six months with a snapped bone because he was afraid when I started walking again, the pressure around that hole would make the bone weaker. So he was thrilled that I have done "so well". I'm glad he didn't tell me in August of his fears or I might have been too timid about walking and exercise. He thinks my 3 days a week workouts have helped tremendously. 13760. PsychProf - 2/9/2005 4:51:34 PM Good. very good. 13761. wonkers2 - 2/9/2005 5:24:22 PM Good news, Judith! 13762. thoughtful - 2/9/2005 5:35:42 PM Glad to hear it, J@h! 13763. Magoseph - 2/9/2005 8:24:21 PM I am too, Judith, that is terrific news.
Mac, I am sorry I missed you this morning.
13764. Magoseph - 2/9/2005 8:44:58 PM I sent a birthday card nine days ago to my younger son in Texas. His birthday was February 3. He just sent a mobile message saying that it has arrived finally. My brother’s card from France took only six days. 13765. woden - 2/9/2005 9:02:26 PM Congrats, Judith! 13766. Max Macks - 2/9/2005 9:32:34 PM One crown can almost use up all the denteal insurance
for the year.
I had a new tooth thing happen last year
a crown (perhaps done badly) broke along with the top of the tooth. dentist said tooth sound
and could be smoothed off and kept in without extracting
the remainer.
so far has worked out well , . 13767. Magoseph - 2/9/2005 10:34:51 PM Hey, Max!
Arky, how are you today--how was your day at school? Were you still hurting? 13768. arkymalarky - 2/9/2005 10:43:20 PM Congrats Judith!
Hey Mags! I didn't go to school. I didn't hurt badly, but I didn't sleep much and I woke up around 5:00 AM with my head/tooth hurting, and the meds for it make me drowsy to drive.
I still have the headache, but it's not too bad. 13769. woden - 2/10/2005 1:21:28 AM Wow. My teeth are perfect. I almost feel better about my 1,300 car repair bill. 13770. robertjayb - 2/10/2005 1:26:00 AM Well done, Judith.
