Mirror, Want2Be ..

Thank you. And thanks to everyone. Whoever suggested Jim Bean ... that was a no go. Made the pain worse. Then I tried vodka which was also a no go. Orajel didn't work to help me sleep and neither did Ibuprofen. But orajel settled the pain down a degree so I could at least catch 2 hours of sleep .. with some twitching in between. My nerves were shot. that and I'm sensitive to pain.

I've been popping tylenol all day. seems to be the only thing that works.

And PacificStar, You'll be happy to know I'm looking into a dentist for tomorrow .. as soon I as I find my card and know what kind of insurance I have seeing its differ than my medical.

But like I said to someone else ... I don't know what I would do without you guys. And I really appreciate the help and even the concerns. and like someone else pointed out ... you guys are also a riot

In 1970 a Claymore mine went off next to me, threw me 30 feet down a hill. My belly exploded, lost half of my sternum, 10 broken ribs, lost my spleen and had a hole 12 inches long on my tummy. I got up and pulled two men away from the fight, then passed out. It hurt almost as bad as a toofy ache.

Don't you mean it hurt worse ...

Um...ya' think?

Don't ya all know by now I'm very literal? Guess not. Besides, sarcasm is hard to tell online so next time use a smiley to help me out

Yeah so my jaw is starting to swell along with my gums. Dentist here I come ... though I'm a bit scared.

well it could be packed we clove leaves..but i'm allergic!!found out the hard way after thay were but in once..but had a dry socket once & thats what they used...peach brandy numbs the gums also..buts clove leaves will stay with gauze...

There is plenty of crack cocaine in new jersey. Just smoke some crack and you will feel better. But be careful because it can be quite addictive.

thanks but I'll pass. Green is as far as I've ever gone.

I need surgery .....

Actually I do understand. I have been fighting the same problem for years and I am far from rolling in the dough. I support two on what you have. I could probably give you some hints on making ends meet.

have all your teeth yanked ---and get a set of plates like mine---never again a tooth problem!!

This is the second time I am refraining of saying something about horses on your posts I am not sure how would you take it

Bet he never has a tooth problem!!!

Your option of teeth extraction has some advantages associated with it don't you know?

PS He would be scared to tell even if he had problems. He would know what awaits him.

omg that sucks rocks

i hope you're gettin that taken care of. my best friend let it go too and it cost him an arm and a leg.

Arms and legs are costly as well---

I totally hear you. I live in fear of getting sick or having tooth problems and I KNOW it's inevitable that things are going to come up.

Wow! I'm going to think of you the next time I have some little owie that I think is the worst pain ever. By the way, thank you for your service to our country!! I hope you got due reward for such heroic actions.
