Well, it was time for both of us to make trips to the dentist. We have insurance but it still is a tough trip to make. I think it must have been all those years of going only when necessary because ouch, no insurance. I think these dental folks just love people with coverage and I truly do believe that everything is priced accordingly. Since we have made this trip and have seen the bills I know why a large number of folks would have to save a long time for trip to the dentist. Yikes, if work on your teeth is needed you would have to take out a second mortgage. However I digress.
Bob needed work and so we made a journey to a new type of (to us) doctor. This is a dental surgeon. The dentist thought this was best because of all Bob's health issues. This young man was so gracious. He checked and double checked everything including whether Bob had lesions on the jaw. Bob had 3 teeth removed--all in a row from the wisdom tooth forward. Today the young surgeon phoned to check on Bob--making sure the bleeding stopped in good time and what the pain was like. Impressed with this doc and our new dentist as well---maybe all this great patient care is because of the prices that are charged. Now we will wait to see the denturist who will come to our dentists office--in the evening!!!!$$$$$$
That was the journey of the month!!!!
We did not receive any PET scan news from a month ago. This time no letters regarding radiation have come so we are assuming all is well. The upcoming week is test week again---can't believe how fast time is flying by.
Tim has been put on the wait list for surgery re: the pressure sore--there goes the winter for them. Pray that the wait will be short and the healing fast.
I have only two weeks until school starts and guess what? only 4 months to Christmas.
