Sorry for my lack of activity today

[DLD]

Sorry for my lack of answering post today. I was at the doctors some good news and some not to good news but all in all I should be able to speak clear enough by this weekend. My temporary teeth will be in soon and the implants will be made at that point. It was extremely expensive but I’m glad I did it because I hate the way I look right now. So I’ll try to answer as many post as I can this evening, so sorry for missing the new posts for today. Much love to my brothers

Thank you my brothers, the update right now is I’m still having swelling in a bit of pain but I’ve learned to speak much better then before so I think I will be able to do podcasts maybe is soon as this weekend. I will not do videos until I have my teeth as I do not want to have people see me looking like a meth head. I am losing a bit of weight as I can’t really eat anything but very soft food. What are you have to say is this, taking care of your teeth, do not be lazy floss and brush twice a day every day. Because when you lose your teeth you lose your smile if you can’t smile you have absolutely no confidence.

So this will cost me everything I have. The pricing has gone up due to periodontal work that needs to be done. On all it’s going to be about tend to $12,000. Since the price has gone up I can’t afford more than $8000 so I will be doing the periodontal work which is imperative and I will replace three teeth and I’ll wait I will wait to do the rest when I can afford it.

Keep praying for me because it’s definitely working. Who knows maybe I’ll get a scratch ticket and I’ll hit $12,000, that would be some pretty good news but I don’t see that in my future. What I do you see is someone who can smile again and eat food and do what I need to do in the brotherhood. Thank you all and God bless you all

That sounds rough, I wish you all the best getting this figured out. One step at a time, sir!

Better news to report today, I have absolutely no pain now for a couple days. The swelling is almost completely gone and I am going to the dentist next week to get fitted for the new teeth so that’s coming a lot faster than I thought. I guess what they’ll do is correct any cavities or other issues I may have, then they’ll take measurements for my temporaries and hopefully I’ll have those in my mouth with in a week or two. From there I will measure me for permanent implants in the Perio Don told work that needs to be dominant. Extremely stressful, extremely expensive, I’ll be able to smile and talk again will be awesome worth every penny that I don’t have LOL

Such a hard predicament you are in dld, it's horrible Really hope you will come out stronger and feeling better in the end. I know you will get through it but I pray you will get also in a better state afterwards with all things that suffer because of this, financial and mental state it's hard.

Glad to hear you're making progress! This is just a bump in the road, and once you're past it you'll never look back. Keep trucking, DLD!

When things get tough I get tougher. Progress, a lot of the time, is climbing up peaks and falling down into valleys but there’s an ultimate trajectory upward. All the strength I draw comes from God and my Family and my Brothers here. As always thank you for keeping me in your prayers as it is working! And you know each and everyone of you are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Glad to hear you are turning the corner on this journey.... it is as intended and I have no doubt you will come out swinging on he other side of this. Thanks for your enduring dedication to MOS and the brothers here regardless of what is going on personally. We all have stuff that pops up and sends up for a loop - it’s how we carry ourselves in light of hose obstacles that shows our true character...

Praying for you everyday dld ??

 

[DLD]

Prayers working big time! I got a call from the dentist and they’re going to get me in there tomorrow afternoon to start the procedure. That saves me a whole three weeks. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers as I get through this expensive and frustrating issue.
