so the dentist does not know. nothing in the xray. he said maybe there was a piece of root left in there but there is no sign of it. i've heard dentists say excuses like this when they don't know...I spent 17 yrs (part of it as faculty) at a dental school. so no resolution on that but he said the pain is easing.

next week, he was to do the esphogus stretching thing so he can swallow better.

found out yesterday from a family member that he is telling people that he had no support during this cancer. let's say that family member hit the roof with truths. wow. maybe he needs to find someone to drive him to that stretching since he hasn't had any support during this cancer.
