[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 654783, member: 1963"] Well, due to bipolar insanity (not to imply that all bipolar people are insane), stress,etc., I got to bed yesterday at 4AM, woke up at 8AM and couldn't get back to sleep. That and foul weather which had me hurting all over, and a double toothache which had me anticipating a particularly unpleasant dental apt later in the day, had me loaded for bear by the time I phoned the insurance adjuster at 8:30. HE wasn't expecting to deal with someone with 20+ years of dealing with often upset people on the phone. The upshot was that I got what I wanted. The mitigation and repairs will be covered for the cost of my deductible, no more. The insurance adjuster is probably still trying to figure out what hit him, and all handled without me so much as raising my voice, let alone any profanity or the like. Then, off to the dentist, where I found out that A) the two teeth are indeed shot, one is a simple extraction, the other requires a surgical extraction, which is a fancy term for being cut out in pieces, and neither are coming out yesterday due to both still being too infected to get adequate anesthesia. Lovely! So, stronger antibiotic (which is making me queasy and woozy) and back Thursday at half past ungodly in the AM to get them yanked. I was also informed that the rest of my bottom teeth, into which I have sunk enough money over the years to have a nice downpayment on a house , are beyond further work. He recommends an implant stabilized denture because regular lower dentures basically "hoover". Coming from a dentist, and knowing that my relatives with dentures never wore their lowers, I can believe this. The issue is raising the cash for the implant stabilized lower while hoping that nothing else on the bottom blows out before that. Oh joy. Other than that, lousy weather for the rest of the week. The spring like weather of last week was apparently a teaser for us in the Northwoods, Thomas is sleeping, as is Squeaky, and there have been more dead animals in the microwave that were not placed there by me, the owner of said microwave, to either cook, or thaw for cooking. All in all, it was a Monday. [/QUOTE]
