Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / August 2007Wah! I'm falling apart.
This is totally uncalled for. Its bad enough I'm creaking and aching like an old worn out mule. But now I'm literally falling apart. I broke off a piece of one of my front teeth in my sleep last night. The broken bit was still in my mouth when I woke up. I know I should be grateful it doesn't hurt. But some mornings these look on the bright side and take pleasure in the small stuff ideals don't cut it. Even being able to tell my dentist "I told you so" is small satisfaction. I just hope I can get in soon to get the sharp edge smoothed off. Jo {{{{Jo}}}}} Duckie > This is totally uncalled for. Its bad enough I'm creaking and aching like > an old worn out mule.

Then be grateful you didn't aspirate it and end up with a pneumonic process requiring surgery to remove it. But go ahead and cuss if it makes you feel better. I do. ;-) Bud >>But some mornings these look on the bright side and take pleasure in the small stuff ideals don't cut it.<< no kidding. i hope you can get in to your dentist very soon, jo. diane > This is totally uncalled for. <huge snip> <end snip> > Jo It's called for. There are times when life just bites and the best thing to do is let it out. As my doctor reminds me, " Flesh and blood, flesh and blood. That's all we are. Hey, maybe we can have a "falling apart party". We could toss all our fallen parts in a circle and, blindfolded, take turns picking out body parts ;-) No? Oh well, just a thought!

[quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Jo Jo, Sorry it happened. Have you had the sharp edge filed down, yet? Do you have a bite splint? It keeps the teeth from grinding together at night. Relieves a lot of the pain and protects teeth (or it you are like me, expensive caps and bridges). I did crack a tooth once, even while wearing the splint. I was trying an anti-depressant that contains serotonin. It was causing me to clench my jaw so tightly that I cracked a polycarbonate splint and a tooth that had just had a root canal done. Cost $200 for a new splint and made moot the $650 root canal job. Am supposed to have had the tooth pulled and an implant put it, but haven't had the $. Have been running around with temporary cap for almost 4 years now. Adelle Whose parents thought the water was flouridated - but it wasn't. > This is totally uncalled for.

[quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Jo Jo, First I am so sorry about the Tooth...And yes ...Some times...Looking on the Bright side...When the Dark side is so much darker...just doesn't cut it... Now for the humorous side of this..not that there is one...But when I read the title of this...it reminded me of a movie...And I can't remember the name of it...Darn it...It had a Vampire and his Ghoul... was a black man...and his body parts kept falling off...Wasn't it a Eddie Murphy Movie???? I hope you get the tooth "Fixed" soon... Hugs Cindy > This is totally uncalled for. Its bad enough I'm creaking and aching like > an old worn out mule. But now I'm literally falling apart.

Jo ((((((((((((((((((((jo))))))))))))))))))) bummer, kid. hope you did get in and get that smoothed. i think i know how you feel, jo, everytime i look in the mirror and see that more of my kamakaze hair has taken off from its scalp deck and crashed landed somewhere else. kate > This is totally uncalled for.

It helps that I've known everyone in that office for nearly thirty years. I just wanted to get the sharp edge smoothed off. But they went ahead and smoothed off that one and the two next to it that had tiny chips. Then bonded stuff over the tops to make them look nice and even. But a tiny bit shorter so they don't hit against the top teeth like they did. It was as easy as getting my acrylic fingernails done. Looks good if I say so myself and feels good too. She did warn we they won't be as strong as they were, but since they were chipping before, I'd guess they won't be much worse. Sept fourth I have an appointment with an orthodontist to make a mouth guard for at night. All my bottom teeth are too crowded and are wanting to move and twist out of line. Thank you all. Its just depressing to start the day by loosing body parts. Jo > This is totally uncalled for. Its bad enough I'm creaking and aching like > an old worn out mule. But now I'm literally falling apart.

Jo sounds like they did a very nice job, jo. i'm glad you're pleased with the result. that's what's most important. hope you're feeling better about it. kate |
