when a person believes the rules don't apply to them, it's unlikely they will follow them!
he's never bothered to read or learn anything about all this stuff so when I tell him other's experiences, he acts like I am crazy. oh well. some must learn the hard way. He doesn't listen to the doctors either. i guess we will see how this goes with his dental health. I"m not an advocate of fluoride really but I would at least do some investigating and reading about it if i thought it might save my teeth.
I remind him once in awhile how fortunate he is on so many levels and has not had to deal with loss of taste, actually little pain during radiation (more of it afterward though), back to work within a 3 months, etc. He gets frustrated and thinks he should be back to square one but that's because he has no idea what is normal or abnormal.
I hope you get to keep your teeth VirgoMom...dentistry was my career and I just hate to see anyone lose any teeth.
