Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 thank you, you are such an angel. I was going to write to you before Thursday. Wish I didn't have to do this but I do. They told me that the RA may have played a part in the bad teeth. I think it is more the medicine we take for the disease. With each surgery I have I ended up with a broken tooth. I think from the breathing tubes. Monday is my last class. I'm glad this semester was long and drawn out. Two classes to go and I am finished. So now I have to decide what to be when I grow up. haha!!!!!!!! Anyway thank you for your note. You always know what to say. I will let you know how it goes on Thursday. I am not being put to sleep, so it is a little nerve racking. Happy Mothers Day, your special, Lynn wrote: > Lynn, the best of luck to you.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Happy Mother's Day, Lynn! That's great that you are so close to the end at school. You've worked so hard. I'm sure you have some good options for the next step. Don't worry about the extractions. I've had several over my life. The most major episode was about 16 years ago when I had my wisdom teeth removed. I was awake but sedated with nitrous oxide. Of course, they also used local anesthetic. Three out of the four teeth were severely impacted. I could hear sawing and all kinds of noise, but I didn't care a bit! I felt absolutely nothing. Recovery was so easy. No problems. No swelling. No nothing. That guy was good. Maybe you could wear headphones and listen to some nice music? I don't know what to say about the cause of your dental problems in the first place. I wish I knew. I can't blame mine on meds or surgeries. Have a happy day today and good luck! I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Thank you for your encouraging words. He promised me everything would be okay. But now I have a really bad cold so I don't know if they will do the work on Thursday. Lately when I get sick I keep it for a few weeks. But if it can be done I want it done and over with. I have had to double the vitamin K I take. Seems I can't absorb it and that was a problem with the surgeries. Caused all the bleeding problems. I have had to double the prilosec and companzine spelling. But I feel okay and even gained a little weight. I think because I was eating so many crackers. Living off them so I have cut back. I try to introduce different foods sometimes it works sometimes I get very ill. I have accepted it for what it is, it is better than the alternative. I'll let you know about Thursday. Hope you and the kids are well. It's spring here, hoping your weather is as nice. Lynn wrote: > Happy Mother's Day, Lynn! > > That's great that you are so close to the end at school.
