I have made it a point during the past two years to check this site at least two times a week, and have printed many responses & info to take home and share with hubby and doctor. He can certianly relate to the many things that you all have shared. There are so many things to deal with every single day. You all have given me alot of good advise and I pray I can put it to good use. It really helps alot to have had so many respond to my post, and even I feel like I have made a first step through your "caring doors" and that in itself has been a ray of sunshine to my morning.
I have much support from folks around me, but they do not really understand how intense and serious things are from time to time.
I jokingly (on the outside, seriously on the inside) told hubby that after he gets new teeth we will schedule his trip to Betty Ford clinic. That made him smile, but..........
Thank you for your listening and caring, and I am sure I will not be a stranger here, there are so many of you that I look forward to seeing posts from, and many days I come to work at the wee hours of the morning just to be able to spend some time reading them.
This is a day we go to oral surgeon, and last night was another one of those "alcohol is the only way to cope nights", but since it is only for x-rays and consult that was probobly premature cure.
I will try to be strong and put your advice to good use.
Wishing you all a day to smile and pain at bay
Katrina
