If I Was A Pioneer, I'd Be Toothless

Warning: This is a blatant appeal for sympathy! Tomorrow I will go into debt $2,500 so that a man who studied teeth can perform oral surgery on me and I can begin the 6 week process of getting an implant in my lower right jaw. That's right. A traitorous root has split and I have only one option left: toothless or moneyless. Sigh. The great debate. Thank you for listening to this pathetic appeal, and I would like to thank the good Lord above for advances in dental science, lest I be toothless and freaky lookin'. Go dentistry! Go drugs!!!

I'm sure you didn't have any pesky weight to get off, but you'll be losing some anyway, won't ya. I might just have some work done so I could lose that last 30 lbs. I'm supposed to take my time post baby, I know, but I miss my clothes!

Oh my, your poor mouth. I hate to brag but I just went to the dentist on Monday and came back problem free! I guess you should move to Vernal because it seems like our dentists aren't as money hungry as the ones in Hurricane. I hope you don't have to go too long without smiling! Love you and good luck. Speedy recovery little mouth.

Good luck with that!! Ouch to both your tooth and pocket book! I have been working a fireside up on 'Virtue' and it will be ready to go in April!! Just let me know the date and we are set!! :) PS what is a good running time do you think, 45 minutes? Maybe and hour? Will this be during their church block or an evening thing? Either way, I can roll with it!! I am here for YOU!! :)

Oh my goodness! Did this happen suddenly? I had no idea. I'm sorry, it sounds awfully painful. Get used to eating soup, huh? Please let me know if I can do anything for you...6 weeks is a long time...but you are strong! You are in my prayers!
