kevin Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hard to talk about something we both know what this journey is taking us through.....I was told by a friend of mine, a woman's Grief and struggles are so much different than a man's........I don't pretend to understand too much of this journey, but I do know you have a good sound intelligence working for you ,and a loving heart. Like to hear from you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Echoing Kevin, Debi. Miss you bunches. I believe I know what a struggle as we are only three days apart on our journey. I am thinking about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debi.williams Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Dear Kevin and Brad, I have missed you too but I'm back! I can't thank you enough for your wonderful messages. I just sent Kayc a message as she had lovingly expressed her concern. How wonderful you all are and I just wish we didn't have to rely on Cyberspace to get together! Here is what happened - with apologies to KayC who has heard it all before!!I am so sorry I worried you all. I have had an abscess on my gum which has been absolute agony. I thought it was a little mouth ulcer and then almost overnight it got huge and started dragging down the side of my face. I have been on antibiotics and strong pain meds and the dentist had to slit the gum and drain off some of the fluid - sorry to be so graphic! It has zonked me out. Only today do I feel better and I still have a week of meds to go.I will resume posting now which I am so happy about because I have missed the love and support of my friends here and reading the stories and advice of others. The pain just made it impossible to focus. Being without my husband during this time - as I know you all know without our 'rocks' only too well - made everything worse and poor Max has had to fend more or less for himself and organise his own meals. I could only manage warm liquids so it's been a tough time all round. Kayc, Kevin and Brad it is a measure of how wonderful everyone in the 'family' is that you sent me these messages and I can't thank you enough. How are you you all ? Big hugs XXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 So glad you are feeling better. Your kindness, compassion and insight were sorely missed. Abscesses and toothaches are so miserable. It becomes nearly impossible to eat, sleep or even think. Well wishes are speeding your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margm Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Debi, your note meant so much to me. I wish none of us had to have grief counseling, but sometimes little things really help. Thank you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debi.williams Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I am so happy Margaret. If we can give or take any little comfort from what others say it is a moment to make that moment more bearable. So many here on this forum have helped me, so many. You are being so brave. You are not alone xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I would love to get implants but I think my dentist would rather keep placing crowns. Probably an insurance thing. I hate that insurance companies get to make medical/dental decisions for the patient. And I've been lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debi.williams Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 2000€ per tooth here, so son't be using the implant option alas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
