Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 148 | Today is Sat. March 7 I did indeed go to this new dentist and he said oh yes we are going to pull them. I said ok BUT I have gone through radiation and am afraid of the consenquenses. I then explained what was going on and he sat back and shook his head and said we can not pull them. Nor will I pull them. We sent a letter to my rad dr for him to fill out and to tell the dentist exactly what I had and how much (Radiation), He said that if it was to a certian point then yes we can pull them. However he said most likely I would have to have root cannals done.Yeh I have money for that right. The unemployment check I get is 158.00 and that is supposed to support my daughter who is Pregnant and my self ok I say let the dang thing just fall out. Hoo Boy. What a world we live in. Ya know If I was rich I would have had all of this done and the drs would be more will to help me. But since I am a charity case I guess just lift a corner of sod and sweep me under it. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. So here I am agian 7-8 vicodine three tranquilizers and three muscle relaxers a day. Just put me in a daze. I think that if the alchol didn't burn me I could probably go back to drinking. I AM SO SICK OF BEING TOLD NO AND HAVEING DOORS SLAMMED IN MY FACE I want to be fixed that is all.
I am so sorry. This will most likely be my last post. I am done with this crap (cancer, not this website. I love this website) But I am done. Brenda

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Doesn't Georgia have welfare that helps unwed mothers. WE sure have a lot of it in Ohio even for the dipsticks wanting to get pregnant to get welfare for spending money. Can't forget the ones that just work jobs to work a limited amount of hours so the welfare keeps rolling in.

You may be eligible for much more assistance than you are receiving. Go to the state office or your local Social Security office and ask. While it will not fix your immediate problem, it would offer you some relief in the future.
How old is your daughter? Where is the father of the baby and his support? If she is an abandoned, unwed mother she should be eligible for her own assistance and not dependent on you.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Wow Lepreckaun THat is more narcotics than I took in 3 days. I would just refuse them mainly to see if I could handle the pain. But I made it and after a day or two the pain became just a part of me.
