Hello Tom,

This is Crystal.

I hope you get some relief, somehow, for the dental problem ? What was provided in the emergency department for you?
Unfortunately, I am familiar with that route too... But not for dental pain

As you are finding out now, it takes mental determination and a sense of Purpose , to keep going in Every day to get your treatments. Try to stay strong... Fortify yourself with good diet ( do the best you are able to. Do you have a feeding tube??) And also, I Hope you have supportive people around you.

Virginia Beach is nice!! I visited there years ago.

Crystal
