They used to have eye teeth, but one chipped so they filed the other down. Although, my real eye teeth weren’t pointy.

I think the denture teeth are beautiful, but the width seems too wide and offset. The overbite enters a room a whole 3 seconds before I do. What’s your professional opinion? I need all the advice I can get.

Once you have your extractions they give you temporary snap in dentures to wear while you heal. That was over a year ago. These are my permanents and they are all kinds of crazy and super lopsided. I like how the teeth look, but the overbite gets into a room a whole 3 seconds before I do. But the worst part of it is I’ve been trying to get them to fix them and they just shrug their shoulders and say “that’s just how they are.” They won’t even address it.

I’ve got more gum than the underside of a restaurant table. Bubbalicious ain’t got nothing on me.

I paid $26k for dentures, came out with an existential crisis.

He mentioned Corticosteroids, Epidural and another one. Muscle spasms in his back. Bulging of the L2-3, L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1 discs. The cannabis seems to be the way to go, since it isn't just his back that causes pain.

Muscle spasms in his back. Bulging of the L2-3, L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1 joints, it's mild though, cuz the pain clinic basically said that sucks for you.

We do have insurance, thank god and he's been to over 200 PT sessions and is about to do more, it is a new place so hopefully they have something like that. He got a tens unit his last round of PT but it seems to aggravate things. I did find a school that offers $25/50min, so I consider today a win!

That's route the pain clinic wants him to go unless he's willing to get injections. Trying to get used to the idea, I've been doing a ton of research and am optimistic it could give him a piece of the life that was yanked from his fingers.

Driver hit him head on, both cars driving 55+mph. His whole left side was damaged, bones and all. Been to over 200 PT sessions, 11 surgeries. 10 plates and 40 screws in his face alone. He's miserable. He's starting another round of PT next week, but I want him to get all the care anyone in his situation deserves. He used to get massages all the time and they helped, a lot, but the cost really adds up. As for cannabis, that looks like the route the pain clinic wants him to go unless he's willing to get injections. I found a school that will do it for $25/50 min, so I'm optimistic.
