Im really strarting to look like a manican, or thats I feel. I look at the picture that was taken maybe 3 months ago, I have in favorite top dentures, the ones that I can't even eat with at all, when I go to church they may make it thru one song..You know what really, really gripes me, and I know I shouldnt complain, is if I was out in here cyber world trying to get help for 'BREAST IMPLANTS' guess what, I would have them already, I have no doubts. Kind of sad, because not having bigger breasts never made me sick, never made me throw up, or anyone saying please help me, get breast implants, because if I dont, I will swallow saliva all day, I just never have heard that statement. Now this is a valid thing, I think its great that insurance helps those that are OBESE, I do, but do not know why that medi-cal, medicare helps them, because if being obese , can and does cause other medical issues, dibiabetes 2, heart problens, asthma, and other things, well that would run into money and cause the persons quality of life to be not there.. Well news flash this is what happening to me and others that I have seen on this site, thats not including those that are too embarrased to come on web site admit they needed teeth implants, whether it be 1, or 6 like me, or a whole set, because they have been brainwashed to think that is wrong that is vain, WELL, is vain about being sick and throwing up, and do you know where the bacteria comes from, well I will tell you, I have two top dentures, the ones i received 7 years ago and the other ones I went thru almost 7 months of waiting to get aproved to get another set from medi-cal, and I cant wear the bottoms at all never have been able to, for one the top dentures help the bottoms stay in, so for your info, its best to leave 2 teeth in for anchors when you get your teeth pulled, well thats nice but not always feesable, or do dentists always tell you this. Back to the bacteria, nasty word, since neither of my top teeth and can be in my mouth for very long, because they dont adhere, right to the roof of my mouth, which I always thought it was the dentures, I was wrong, it was my mouth, which the specilist that I finally went to and a good dentist I went too seperate Drs, got 2 different oppinons, had to pay money that I had to save and scrimt to get for there consultations, but the funny thing they both told me the same basic reason why I couldn't wear the dentures, just the dentist, had reeally no hope for helping me with my top he said possibly he could put 4 mini implants in the bottom, but didnt feel he could help with the top. So that is why then I went to ortho something, he's a speclist that deals with people with mouth issues, and special cases, and to pay a larger consultation fee. thank God for the tiny bit of income tax money, that fast, but at least I found out.. He said basically the same thing the first guy said, and was very gracious, and kind, as was the first dentist, after all, it had take me several years to even get the courage or the money to finally go find out if a dentist could make teeth for me, that would work. Here I am a 57 year old woman, like a kid at the candy store at the first one.. I'm thinking, yes no more feeling sick, no more, did I remember too put me teeth back in my purse, at church, restuarant, family members house, by the way that is one of the ways, bacteria gets in my mouth, anyway, I was quite funny when I first went in because, becaue I love people and I love to laugh, and quite frankly I can be funny sometimes. but the laughter turned to tears, very quickly when the first guy told me about my mouth and how the roof was not right, theres like a bump or arise or somehting there is a medical name for it, some people acutally that have money. I think even can get that taken care of. So now, is when my friend who went with me is trying to be supportive, and asking the dr, saying surely she is not the only one with this problem, he said no, and there are specilists, and to basically to see one, and don't say what he said, let the specilist come to there own conclusion. So I was excited, well when Im at home and not wearing my teeth, I had to get something because I bite down, kind of chew on one side contiually, and swallow continally becuase of it, when I do this, I'm swallowing acid, and making myself really sick, so I went in ,search, this was about maybe a year ago of something to stop me from doing this, since I have Barrett's esphagas, a precancer condititon of the esphagas and have long history of ulcers, I rellly do not need any extra acid in my digestive track. I never mentioned this, in a post before, but its like everything I've have told you, its the Gods truth, as a Christian, Im not perfect and I mess up, but Im not lieing about any of this, I had went on line to see what to do, the only thing first I came up with was pacifers, yes thats what I said pacifers, I sent my husband to the store for pacifers, for me, how wonferul is that, and I also have a very small mouth, one of my mouth problems, lucky for me so do babys. so for a while a short while, when ever I was home, I would have a pacifer in my mouth to chew bite down on, what ever it is that I do, so I wouldnt't be swallowing all of that acid, well now here is the BACTERIA lovely word, worse when you are getting in your stomach, all the time, I couldnt wash every time I took it out I tried but I couldnt talk with it in my mouth, and I talk, like I write, in much detail for a small head I have alot going on in there, anyway, then at nite it would fall of my mouth, and with out thinking, I stick it in my mouth HELLO AGAIN, BACTERIA, are you feeling sick yet, I was, and it just added to my nausea and then I also would throw up, our stomachs do not really like BACTERIA, TOO BAD FOR ME. my daugher came by one day and thought her baby had left her pacifer, I said its mine, she said your kidding right, I wasn't kidding, this has been my life for awhile, Back to the bacteria, so I was done with the PACIFERS very done. So now someone said why not a MOUTH GURARD great maybe it will guard my mouth and warn me when bacteria is charging my mouth, and throat and tummy.. NO that wsnt how it worked. they are actually made for 2 things, men who play SPORTS and people who GRIND THERE TEETH the key word would be teeth, which I have none, so mouth guards that are for teeth grinding, our very expensive in the drug strores, but I ran into someone buying one, and he was the one, who said they were cheaper, if you go to a sports store and get one. He was right they were about 1.50 or so, and in the drugs store they are up to 40 dollars. so I purchased a couple of these, and of course they are big, so I cut them to sort af fit my mouth, to keep me from biting, or chewing what ever it is, that I do, and swallowing extra acid, but once again, cant talk with them in, so even if I just say yes, or no, out it ,comes and back it goes, my hands are not clean 24/7, sorry, I have hand cleaner, but its impossible as many times as it they have to come out, for me to have my hands clean, and I do touch money, not much of it, ha ha , but I do, I touch everything in the house, I do not want to draw a detailed picture here, Im not here to make people want to run and get sick. I have been to the hospital for a baciterial infection in my stomach, I can't tell you, nor could the Dr where I got it, but I was very sick, both ends sick, they gave Diluad shots because of the pain my stomach, that was a year ago.. any way sometimes, I just cant stamd the chewing, and swallowing saliva and my hurting stomach, so i will just grab anything to put between my gums, not to smart huh. Well I think you get the idea, where and why I get so much bacteria in my tummy. I wish it was BREAST IMPLANTS I needed, but I don't.. lucky me, NO not lucky me... I apogize if I'm agitated, but I was so close I thought to haveing my mouth taken care of till I found out it was my mouth... One last thing, as Im thinking out loud, why does medi-cal and medicare, not help the many many people like me who have medical issues, that get worse, or are caused because of no teeth, this is why they pay for people who get GASTRERAL BYPASS because it may help keep them more well, even help with their DIABETES, if its about money, what about the cost of the emergency visits to the hospital, when I' m NOT sure why my stomach is in so much pain, or when I spent 24 hours almost in emergency because of a bacteria thing in stomach, and the mediceines, and room cost, and the gasternolnolgist I go see, because, Im afraid by symptoms maybe my esphagas has finally turned canerous, what about the cost of the endoscopy. The list could go on, I think I almost paid for my 6 implants and special denture with that money.... thats right I got the procedures and medicne instead, I dont understand any of it. I just know I miss feeling the happiness, that the person appears, to have at the top of this page, APPEARS would be the key word. Well at least I have beautiful blue eyes.. or so they say.. Im tired again. THIS PART OF MY BLOG I WANT TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO DRS, DENTISTS, ORTHO- WHAT EVER PEOPLE THOSE PEOPLE ARE CALLED, WHO HELP THOSE WITH SPECIAL MOUTH PROBLEMS, AND ORAL SURGENS, AND YES EVEN THOSE HAVE BEEN BLESSED, OR EVEN WORKED HARD, BUT THOSE WHO HAVE MONEY SITTING IN THE BANK, AND THEY MOST LIKELY WILL DIE THAT WAY. THOSE PEOPLE, FIRST THE DR. GROUP---- WHAT'S THE DEAL , YOU ALL GIVE PRESRCRIPTIONS, SO THERE FOR YOU ARE DRS. ARE YOU ALL SO YOUNG, YOU FOGOTTEON THE OATH, HAVE YOU FORGOTTON WHY PEOPLE USE TO BECOME DRS, IT WASN'T ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY, AT ONE TIME PEOPLE CHOSE THAT PROFESSION BECAUSE THEY CARED, AT ONE TIME MADE HOUSE CALLS, AND NOT FOR EXTRA MONEY, BECAUSE THEY CARED. I DONT LIKE USING WORDS LIKE ALL, BECAUSE THOSE ARE BLACK AND WHITE STATEMENTS, I DON'T BELEIVE ALL OF YOU ARE JUST IN IT FOR THE MONEY, I THINK ITS GREAT YOU EARN A VERY GOOD LIVINGS, YOU WENT TO SCHOOL, AND YOU DESERVE IT, BUT ACTUALLY SOME OF U EARN ENOUGH AND THEM SOME, SO YOU COULD HELP SOME PEOPLE, NOT TO THE POINT THAT YOU ARE FINACIALLY HURTING, THAT WOULD BE LUDICROUS.. YOU WOULD PROBLABLY EVEN GET MORE PAYING PATIENTS, BECAUSE OF THE WONDERFUL THING YOU DID, WHY DO YOU THINK LAWYERS, TAKE CASES PRO BONO.... ITS FOR THE ATTENTION, AND BECAUSE PEOPLE THINK WHAT A GREAT MAN OR GROUP OF MEN OR WOMAN OR GROUP OF WOMEN, TAKING ON A CASE FOR FREE...I think they're pretty smart... who knows you MIGHT GET ASKED TO GO ON 60 MINUTES, OR GO ON THE EARLY SHOW, CANT YOU HEAR THE NEWS, A GROUP OF DENTISTS, AND ORAL SURGEONS (YOU FEEL IN THE BLANK,) GOT TOGETHER AND REACHED OUT AND DID THE UNHEARD OF THIS LAST WEEK, AND DID SOMETHING UNHEARD OF, IN THESE TIMES OF HIGH GAS PRICES AND ECONMY STRETCHING TO THE LIMITS..., IN A LET'S GET RICH SOCECIETY, THEY SAW A WEBSITE called AIDPAGE, that is a platform for people needing help, finally some got the help needed. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DRS AND DENTISTS AND ORAL SURGEONS, THAT HAD A HEART AND GOT TOGETHER, I DONT HOW THEY DID, BUT GREAT JOB GUYS. You dont think these kind of thing get attention, and more busisiness, you are wrong it does.. FINALLY THOSE WITH MORE MONEY THEN THEY WILL SPEND BEFORE THEY DIE. WOULD IT BE SUCH A HORRIBLE THING TO HELP ONE OR TWO PEOPLE, IT WOULD GIVE YOU, WHAT MY GOD CALLS PEACE THAT SURPASS'S ALL UNDERSTANDING... THERES ALOT OF UNHAPPY WEATHY PEOPLE.. ONE LAST THING, I PROMISE, I wrote to a PHILANTOPIST, before finding aid page, I just goggled it in Philandrpist, or maybe I goggled people with money helping people, I honestly had no idea what a PHILANDRIST was till about a month ago, any way I got a page and read a few of them, and this one couple article attracted me and there was a picture of them and they looked kind, I wont names because I have integrity, no teeth, but integrity, and I wrote and told them my story with all of my imperfections, but I was being truthful, told them they I didnt care about seeing a dime. if they could help me they could pay the oral surgeon and the other guy directly, and they could check out my story, and that if they couldnt, that I would understood there are people with worse problems then me, and if they knew any one who could help me, to please let me know, and I thanked them, for all the good they had done in helping people, mind these people had been on Good morning america, because of their good deeds. So I thats how I ended my long letter to them.. I really didnt think I would hear anything back, but I have to keep trying, I love life and people. But I did, got a response in less than probalbly 15 mins, the excitement I felt when I saw my email goes beyond what I felt in a while, so I opened my email. It said something really close to this.. " TRY TAPPING YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS. and that was about it. I think that was CRUEL AND INHUMANE.. a simple no, or no response would have been more kind... I wrote them back a very simple reply, my family and friends have not got that kind of money, but they do have something you haven't got INTEGRITY. thank you have a good day.. something like that, and gave up on the net, till about a week and a 1/2 ago when I was tpying up in the corner randomly, Help, help, I believe thats what was anyway, that is how I found this place that I wear my self out sometimes trying to find help, AIDPAGE, has literally saved my life, I was getting very desponant. I'm thankful, so very thankful, I found this site. Thats enough from this TOOTHLESS WONDER. havent totally lost my sense of humor.... thanks for your time in reading my very very long blogs.. I really need to write that book, not about my teeth or I shoud say lack of, but about MY LIFE STORY, then I would have the money for my implants.. Make it a great day, Just PLEASE, read this 2 or three times, and really , really think about some of the things I've said, and then try, this will be very hard imaginge your self in my condition and in finacncial state, remember Im disabled, and my husbusband makes, 8.35 and hour after 17 years on the same job. So as you do this, if you do, really try to go there, and imagine one day of your life going thru what I have tried to explain here, and on my other posts... thank you again, for your time... God Bless you abundantly in all you do. Kat
