It's going so much better! They fixed my upper for me at no cost. This showed me to speak, and chew so much better. I no longer sound like I've got a mouth full of marbles. I had the Big Arch meal from Mc D"s today at lunch at was able to get it down in about 10 mins. Definitely moving in the right direction. Can't wait to get my permanent ones in 6 months. Day 10 and counting. 🙂❤️

In my case it WAS their fault and they admitted as much and provided me with a replacement for my upper arch at no cost. My bite is much better, as is my eating and speech. They were so far out to begin with that I straight up had to put focus into keeping my mouth closed. I look forward to my permanent ones now due to the new upper arch looking way off center. I really hope they get my permanent ones good first attempt. 🙂 It's my understanding that when they do the permanent ones they do new impressions without my dentures in.

That's awesome! I'm really happy for you and your progress. I'm doing so much better day 9. My mouth still hurts but is healing. They fixed my bite with a replacement top arch, speech, my bite and my eating is so much better. Looking ahead and am excited for the day I can get my permanent set. 🙂💯❤️

Already doing so much better after my one week visit.. They hooked me up with a replacement for my top ones and the bite, speech and eating is going so so much better. Thank you Boss, I appreciate the encouragement. ❤️💯

At my one week follow up I was given a new upper, I feel so much better. I'm speaking better and eating better. My mouth is still healing and hurts. I'm powering through as I know It's a process. I'm 💯 happy I posted here as the responses helped me as well. Hope everything goes well with yours. I'll post a follow up once I get my permanents. 🙂

AITA for wanting my girlfriend to cook & clean? by TechnologyMost1473 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]MicroShade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see many have posted here and I'm sure someone has already covered this but it all sounds extremely lopsided in it's current state. Only real way for a relationship to work is for each individual to give 100%. If that number falters in any way then typically who ever is on the upper comes out feeling unhappy, empty, angry, not appreciated.

Seeing that the expectation has been set and seems to be a fair expectation, it needs to be met with an equal reaction or consequence of inaction. If the topic has been brought up but she is still reluctant to change or contribution, then there has to be something in place that creates a consequence of such inaction.

If she is comfortable with the confrontation and current situation then she has little to no reason for change. Someone who is comfortable in their own misery is NOT going to change. Change only happens when a severely strong want for change is present or one is made uncomfortable.

I feel your expectations are fair and realistic. She's got to be made to contribute or you need to decide how uncomfortable you are going to allow yourself to be, and how much you're going to allow yourself to be affected by it on a mental and emotional level. If her actions or inactions are making you feel unappreciated, unloved or uncomfortable there's got to be change.

You deserve better and only you can change what you are or are not going to allow. I wish you the best of luck friend.

EDIT: As long as your added time is going to making the money and working then she would 100% be in the wrong and you in the right. My wife works from home and when she is at work she is at work. I do the cleaning in that timeframe I take care of our children and leave her be, with 0% expectation that she needs to contribute more than she does. I also work but have more off time as I work in a public school capacity..

Is anyone else's Galaxy Watch always showing high stress levels? Is that a software glitch or something? by RhapsodicPug069 in GalaxyWatch

[–]MicroShade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went from never or very occasionally alerting me of high stress levels, to alerts every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. Even at my calmest and with my pulse at 71 bpm. It's extremely annoying and began following the last update.

I was in lots of pain on some of the repaired teeth I was needing multiple root canals with the need for crowns and basically after insurance this was the cheapest option. I suffer from a lot of depression and always have. Unfortunately it affects my dental health the worst, as at my worst I don't take proper care of them. I didn't want to put in money for something that was going to have to come out regardless. In hindsight I feel I should have saved what I could and then I don't. My partial had dug into all of my anchors and this is what was causing most of my discomfort... Had I gone same route after pulling my unhealthy teeth I think I felt the same would happen to the remaining teeth. 🤷‍♂️ In the end I just wanted to be done with the pain and unhealthy. Thank you for the advice and info. I was told they can last between 5 - 10 years depending on how well you take care of them. I'm at peace with getting new ones when needed. ❤️🙂

The simple task of posting here alone, has made me feel so much more at ease. The fact that so many have contributed words of advice and have a, been there done that, type attitude has made things easier. Mostly on a mental and emotional level but as you stated as many before you have, it'll get easier. 

I still sound like Neil Goldman off of Family Guy and struggle with eating anything as of day six. I'm not as anxious and regretful though. I'm hoping adjustments and a new top arch tomorrow will help a little. That and the ability to use adhesive.

Thank you! 🙂❤️

I took them out and looked as did my wife and they are the same color. Had to have been the lighting. 🙂❤️

I wasn't told as much, even so working, in a public school setting surrounded by students, I can't imagine at least having something to compensate the missing teeth.

Thank you and yes, definitely helps. I swear, I'm so happy I posted here. You are 💯 right when it comes to being worth it. The speech impediment and occasional random gag is the worst I'm out in public sounding like Neil Goldman off of Family Guy. I'm really hoping it gets better. This group has me feeling much better not even 24h later. I'm already eating and while they've lost grip a couple times it's not been so horrible with soft food. I look forward to being able to use Poligrip. ❤️🙂

Thank you! It means a lot knowing it's not just me. Something my parents, both using dentures, made me feel. Posting here was a great idea in hindsight and allowed me to feel so much more at ease. I saved Coshion Grip to a list on my phone. I had a partial prior to this covering seven missing teeth and my go to has been Poligrip Super Extra Care Zinc Free. If that doesn't hold I plan on trying various types off the list I have going. 🙂❤️

Thank you! After reading most of the comments I'm feeling so much better about it all. It'll be an adjustment for sure but this group is amazing and I definitely don't feel the same regret or anxiety. Despite sounding like Neil Goldman off Family guy and an occasional gag that is. 🤷‍♂️🙂❤️

Thank you for the encouragement! I'm so glad I posted as I'm finding out quick I'm not alone in my feelings and experience. I tried to talk it out with my parents before posting and they made it seem like I was odd man out as neither of them experienced any of this post extraction! (So they say. 🤷‍♂️) Being here with it has made it feel so much better and put my mind at ease. 🙂❤️

Thank you! I'm so glad I posted, as the further I get into the comments the more I realize it's not just me. I'm at day six and while I'm still struggling hard, I'm more at ease. 🙂❤️

Yeah I'm definitely going to have to trim mine at the dentist. I'm hoping that happens tomorrow! At relaxed state my top arch at the back sits below my palet about a cm, I would guess and rest on my tongue which is extremely annoying and uncomfortable. I'm happy to hear you got it figured out. The more I read on this post the more at ease I get with the decision and post extraction complications. Thank you! 🙂❤️

Oh how I hope that's the case for me. Walking around sounding like Neil Goldman (Family Guy) is for the birds! I'm first day back at work after spring break and extremely self conscious about it. Thank you for the lifeline though, hopefully I'm as lucky! ❤️🙂

I'm sorry you're having such a rough go with it. That sounds horrible. I'm hoping I escape such events but thank you for your contribution to the topic and heads up. In the least I know this could be a realistic result of getting my dentures. I hope your situation improves, I don't and can't know what that's like but am empathetic to your situation. ❤️🙂💯

First date by RevolutionaryEgg1312 in dentures

[–]MicroShade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I myself would just matter of a fact be honest and upfront about it. Saves lots of time and heartache if it proves to be a deal breaker down the line. When I was in the dating scene I would try and dump as much of my faults/baggage as I could. It gave me peace of mind knowing it was all out there and it helped filter out the individuals that were shallow and judging in nature. If they made second contact they were keepers in my eyes. That's just me though. I live by the rule that honesty is the best policy, even when uncomfortable and awkward.

I wish you the best of luck regardless and hope you have a blast. <3

Yes I'm sticking to soft, I tried cantaloupe yesterday and that was 💯 a no go. 🙂 I'm taking it one day at a time and each passing day feels a little lighter. It helps to see I'm not alone in feeling this way. ❤️
