Sorry to hear you're not well Deb. I wish you the best, and I sympathize. It's a motha' when our bodies betray us as we live our lives. I just had ALL my teeth pulled and have been preparing for full dentures for the past two months. It's a complete ordeal that goes beyond the obvious, as with most medical issues. People never know until they REALLY know. At least if nothing else, it's something worth talking about and sharing. I have a 5 or 6 part story series about the dentist next year :-) Feel better.
