In 1996 I broke my back molar on a jaw breaker (good lesson learned; don't chew them). As we age our teeth get older and more brittle and crack easier. I went 14 years with a root canal and crack at the gum-line (which I was told may abscess and the whole thing may not work as bacteria could still get into the tooth and decay it ( Read more... )

Wow I just realized today it's been 4 weeks since my crash so I'm doing a little update. About 3 weeks after my roll over I started having mega pain in my right side back, down the right leg and wrapping around my lower groin in the front. I was really baffled by all this sudden pain that was accentuated by sitting (driving in particularly). I ( Read more... )

Today I had a Dr. appt for my right knee. Doc injected it with Orthovisc and there will be 2 more shots a week apart to complete the therapy; I sure hope this works. I'll post later so you'll know if it helped or not. I'm optimistic since it's for specifically for osteoarthritis and not a steroid.

I'll try and keep this short; however it was a NIGHTMARE!!!! I get to the hospital early (around 9:30 a.m.) for my 11:00 a.m. surgery. After establishing the fact that I'll be staying awake with a spinal injection; the nurse goes to insert my IV. After 3 attempts and failures, the anesthesiologist came in and had NO problem inserting it ( Read more... )

Saturday I went quading for the first time; I must say it was a "fun" experience! It was a little tough turning (with my hands/wrist disabilities) but I quickly caught on (kind of like riding a horse). After the trails I got up to 28 mph on the roads in Garden Park. I had a great time; sorry it's taken so long for me to do this; just FYI you can ( Read more... )

Well today was not my best day by all means but I'm doing ok all things considering. First I went to my doctor to get my test results from my knee MRI scan, blood work up, and bone density test. I show up early and I'm not scheduled for an appointment today or any at all; my doctor was double booked so I saw a PA for my results. He was a nice ( Read more... )

Ok I get a call from soon to be legally separated hubby. He say's he's hearing I'm going to take him to the cleaners and to be careful. My reply; get a lawyer if you don't trust me. I also told him I don't know of ANYONE who would tell him this because it simply isn't true. Next thing is well I went to the bank and you took out 1/2 of an ( Read more... )

Well it's been awhile since my last post so I'll fill in some details. The break-up was pretty hard on Brian however he IS starting to get used to living apart. We've really spent the last several years this way so I figured he'd come around at some point. I think things will even get better if he begins to date at some point (if he hasn't ( Read more... )
