Toothless

Hey there, hope you are doing well. I have to laugh at the title of my post- because today I am! I also have to go in to work for the next couple of days in this shape. My husband says I am vain, I guess I didn't think I really was, but I do find myself dreading this and will be talking with my hand over my mouth most of the time and hoping my co-workers don't make me laugh/smile. It's close to the front or it wouldn't be a big deal. I am now beginning to wonder if the Dr. in Cinc Ohio is right, maybe this is Shogrens and not LAM. Although I do not have any of the main symptoms bad teeth and lung cysts can happen. This tooth has never caused me pain and apparently degraded from the inside out and kept breaking off. We were trying to save fixing it until the new year when my insurance for the year kicks in but we were too late. Last night BRUSHING MY TEETH, I accidently bumped it and it shattered completely down to the baseline of the gum.. Crazy!! Made me angry to say the least. I like my teeth I'd like to keep them. I am going to get an implant and they couldn't get the temporary tooth to cover it in time until Monday. This is embarrassing. I am being humbled for sure. So if you see me- please do not make me smile :) . *I have no new news. My Dr. in Cinc Ohio still has not received my MRI disk I found out. Which means the carrier I sent it on is going to pay me back. So I know nothing. The surgeon never called me to schedule and since I am in no hurry now I have not called him. So I wait. I have been working out on the treadmill all week and watching mostly what I eat, (now I can only really eat soft foods). I have even been doing pushups and attempted situps :) I can not believe how 1. out of shape I let myself get and 2. how inflexible I am. Stretching hurts! But here we go. *Breathing junk this week but is all good, I am moving forward no matter what! I do feel like I am in limbo land though as right now I guess I do not know what I have. This tooth thing has taken up quite a bit of my flex pay at work so now trying to figure out how to pay for the deductible and co-pay etc. etc. However, this being said God is good, he knows where I am at. He knows what the future holds. He loves you too and knows what wonderful plans he has for you. We have still been cleaning the house albeit not near as in a frenzy as in last week, but still cleaning, expecting something good. I'll keep you posted. Let me know how you and your family are. Until next time, remember "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." and "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians.
