Well, I had two doctors appts today. One to follow up with my new oral surgeon after my surgery in Nov. and the other one with a new prosthedontist to discuss new teeth as part of the surgery in Nov was to put in implant posts. My surgery was in Oregon with the doctor that has been with me since the beginning and todays appts were with new doctors here in TN. The oral surgeon said that my mouth (situation) was a complicated one. When we saw the prosthedontist he was looking in my mouth and I could tell by the sounds he was making that it wasn't real positive.

This just seem to be the way that things have been going in my life with this stuff. Some things didn't happen that should have as far as communication between my surgeon here and my old surgeon and either one of them and me. But I believe that all things happen for a reason and believe that even if we had known it wouldn't have changed things much if anything. I have to wait till May to begin the process to even see if I will be able to get teeth. This was very hard on my mom. I am sure it will be hard on me too if it comes to that. Only time will tell.
