So I recently went back to the dentist for the first time in a long time, and as I figured, I have a lot of work to be done.
I need a root canal, two crowns, a filling, and a jaw surgery/physical therapy because of my bite being really messed up and causing me to have migraines. I’m really excited that after 12 years of headaches I have a cause for it all, and can have it corrected. I have an infection in my jaw, which I am finishing up antibiotics for now. I have an appointment on Friday to get the root canal done. That’s going to cost us $1200, since it is so far gone, and has been broken for about 4 years now.
I also have crooked teeth, and have been planning to get Lumineers, and I have already gotten 2 consultations and I am a good candidate for them. My dentist is a cosmetic dentist who also does general dentistry, and since I am having a few thousand in other work done, he offered me 2 free Lumineers to have the procedure done. My issue is that either way, I have to get the work financed–and it needs to be done, or I will end up with an even worse infection than I already have, and be in so much pain, again.
Now here’s where the tricky part comes in. My husband is in the Marine Corps, and he is currently deployed. I got to talk to him for a few minutes, and told him about the root canal, but the phone was cut off before I was able to tell him about the rest. I told him it was a few thousand and it would be financed in our names. He said to make sure what the payment would be and that we could afford it. I’m just going back and forth with it because I did not get the chance to tell him about the Lumineers… But if I do the rest now and the Lumineers later, I won’t get the 2 free ones, plus I will have to have 2 loans financed for it, instead of all at one shot, so it will be 2 payments, and about 2400$ more. We can afford the payments, as he just got a promotion and military’s yearly pay and BAH raise, and I also work for a pharmacy.
I really want to surprise him with having my teeth done and them be all pretty when I finally get to see him again in March. But I’m not sure if that’s the right thing to do. I only have until Friday to finance it, and I’m not sure when I will be able to talk to him again. I can’t reschedule the appointment because of the infection.. It has to be done the day I finish antibiotics, otherwise I’ll have to keep getting more antibiotics, and that’s not so good for you.
So I’m stuck. I don’t want to make him upset.. And I do plan to pay it out of my own paycheck, it will just be jointly financed in both our names (like our cars are)…. And I really want to surprise him and get it done. And I want it done for myself. It’s been forever that I wanted nice teeth and my family never had the money, plus my parents were meth heads. Any advice?? I’m so torn!

Your husband is a physical therapist and is contracted out to work in a business where his job is to rehab patients. One day you show up at his job to take him out for lunch and you walk into his office and he’s giving a younger girl a massage and has his hands inside of her pants rubbing her lower back and hips. This girl is an employee not a rehab patient. Then you overhear talk from other people that he works with that there may be a sexual harrasment suit filed against him because he has a problem keeping his hands to himself. What would you say to him, what would your reaction be? Please, serious replies only.
My husband bought a house that makes me sick, and which I am not able to live in.
I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, which he knew about when he married me only ten months ago.
We have come to find out that the house he bought is contaminated with a chemical that is off-gassing from the drywall, floors, cabinets, etc. There is no possibility of remediation, short of a $200,000 rehab!
Despite devastating physical effects and experiencing a great amount of damage to my condition, my husband refuses to sell (it’s his dream home) and says, “There’s no point in being married if you’re not going to live here.”
Since then, he has treated me like garbage, cut me off financially, won’t have physical contact with me and appears to hate me. He finds every opportunity to insult me and continuously insinuates that my medically documented condition is ‘all in my head’, even though he’s known about it for two years previous to our marriage!
Can I sue him for mental anguish?
pretty basic…he had online affair and i cant feel any pain of any kind emotionally…. back story here, after years of therapy and religious counsellings i still cant feel pain. I am an artistic person and very physical in the way i love and express myself… i am 26 years old and after having a father that beat the hello dolly out of me and the ex bf’s and the ex husband that did all the same…i feel that symbolically i need to perform a ritual. the therapists said that doing something for myself would be the best way to help…i was thinking of getting a tattoo of a cross on my shoulder blade…symbolically to me it represents that christ has had my back and, that i lived through all of this 26 years and im ok. im not dead and have 3 great kids to show. and with getting this done i would feel the physical pain and have a “release”. also,symbolically speaking, to me it would be i reminder of not my pain but, my strength of having made it through it all with him having my back…is this an ok way to deal or should i do the new haircut and blowing money on things that doesn’t last?
my husband and i both have herniated discs. i am going through physical therapy but it isnt helping. i am waking up hurting now and i have five children to take care of so i cant be debilitated by pain to where it is preventing me doing my job as a wife and mother and my husband has already had surgery and has another herniated disc to deal with as well as doin lawn care(self employed) so he s the bread winner so to speak and i know hes in more pain than i am. i only have medipass and none of the docs want to give us pain meds. i know y they dont like to but in both of our cases they are needed. me and my husband would not take them if we didnt feel the need to so i was wondering what can i do about it? they just think that we are pill poppers wantin quick fixes. its insulting. meanwhile both of us are suffering. im not gettin any housework done because of the need to lie down where im most comfortable and its unacceptable to myself and my husband. can anyone help?
Ok, so my husband had back surgery in january of 2006. He is 24, and had the surgery because he had herniated discs in his lower back due to jumping out of airplanes(inthearmy). Since then, it seems like its just gotten worse. Hes walking ith a cane, still has horrible back pain, and the physical therapy either wont work or its too much for him. I dont know if its just him being lazy, and using it as an excuse for sitting around(which he does, all the time) or if it is really bad as he says it is. whats a normal time line for a fusion surgery, how long does it take to recover and has anyone one else had this experience? I want him to feel good again..physically and about himself. Im worried that soon he’ll let this completely take over his life. When i ask about trying phys. Ther. again he gets mad and says you dont know what its like. but i just want him to be better. anyone have any advice?
We will be married 18 yrs. june 10th. I maybe in a facility
for recovery and physical thearpy after surgery during this time.
I am going to physical therapy, and I hope one day I can do exercise on a more regualr and consistent basis. I have chronic pain, and this last car accident only made the already chronic pain worse and more frequent. I am having a hard time getting back into exercise and had to switch therapists.
It’s not like I don’t try on my good days, but those rare days, I am usually trying to catch up with the household chores that I got behind in.
Sometimes I feel like I am not really living with this kind of pain, and that my husband does not understand. I saw a woman on t.v. and thought she was pretty and wanted to have pretty jeans and a form fitting shirt like her. He said her hips were too big, but I thought she looked nice. Then it got to be my hips are too big too. And there are other times he talks about me too. I know I could lose some weight, but how can I without starving myself, or is that what I should do? And how do I shrink my hip bones down so that I will be good enough?
