@Mrfunkedude Fuck, that’s brutal.

My wife was on seizure meds that ruined her teeth, and went through “eating w/o some teeth,” “eating on pain meds,” “eating w/o more teeth,” and finally just getting them all pulled.

It was brutal for her, for a short-ish time, and then suddenly w/ the temp replacements, it “just worked.”

Watched it all, and was I in awe of her strength and character through it all.

Mouth and related pain is no joke. Hope you’re able to get the appropriate care ongoing.

@_ There’s really nothing I can do for it. It happens occasionally. Probably more often than I’d like. I tried to find the best in situations like this. At the very least, I’m eating less food. Which I could stand to do.

I’m glad your wife took the appropriate measuring to take care of her situation.

@Mrfunkedude im sorry there’s nothing to be done - that’s an area that’s both difficult, and where we’ve screwed up insurance, etc.

It’s a damn shame that the concept of “deal with it” exists.

I had my doubts when she went in, and recovery sucked, but it’s night and day - pain vs no pain, and all the life stuff that leads to.

She’s sometimes back to the sheer joy of when I met her, and we first hugged. Not just pain, but headspace.

I’m over the moon she’s in so much better of a place.

@_ That’s awesome. I’m happy for you two. Genuinely.
