Say What I Think

Okay, I will say G-d blessed me with a great root system in my stupid mouth, if I wasn’t grinding my teeth to heck. I will probably need to find out if I can get a mouth guard. Today I had a dental appointment at the Union Gospel Mission here in St. Paul. I will say I was impressed considering this is a free service they provide to the community. I would have thought they wouldn’t have been as kind and gentle, I would have thought they would have been a lot worst but they did great with me. The minute I had pain the dentist say it right away and put more novacine in a long with something else that totally numb me. Needless to say I can not feel my face on the left side. I am not to do any lifting for 24 hours so no work. I asked him when can I return to work, he said as soon as I felt well enough. So then I asked can I return to work tomorrow he said no. After reading my after surgery requirements I realized I wouldn’t be able to go to work anyways because my job requires me to do a lot of lifting.

They never really lift me a lone, other then a few minutes when they where talking about my care. I have very long roots, and very strong too boy he fought with that thing for near 2 hours. My young assistant did great and they both made me feel at ease not like they really needed a emergency alert system for me. I told them I hadn’t been to the dentist for years because last time I went about the wisdom teeth they said they have to break my jaw. He told me call them back and ask for the guy who deal with wisdom teeth because he’s a oral surgeon and aught to get to it. I was surprised he needed a smaller size for my mouth, because I have always thought I have a big mouth, guess not.
I still have no pain in my mouth and I was done at 745 and it’s now close to 2 hours, but I still can’t feel my left side of my face.
I was very happy with the level of compassion and gentleness they had with me. This is a great program for those of use who have no insurance, and no money. I explained to him when he told me to go to Uof M and get some work done which might be easier for them, that I can’t do that because I work part-time because I talk care of my father in law with Alzheimer, and only made peanuts for money with no benefits. I have to say I don’t have a huge fear anymore.
