Vicki, I, for one, am proud to know you. You are an inspiration to me and others. Please know I am here for you. Praying that someone can help your situation. I KNOW you are not being a cry baby, God knows what you have been thru and continue to deal with. Would you want me to discuss your situation with my oral surgeon at University of Maryland? He is an amazing man and might be able to offer help. Love, Carol
