Thank you Ed,

Believe it or not, after I posted today, I started thinking along the lines that you are verbalizing. If I let anxiety overtake me ahead of time, I'll ruin the good life we do have left.

I can be very strong and realistic once a plan is in place. When I'm uncertain about the best course of action, I panic.

It does help me to know, that even with the best dental care, this can happen. I'm sad for you, my husband, and others who have to face this, but it helps me to know that it might not be due to an oversight on my part in not seeking out more "experts".

Wishing the best for you,
Lottie
