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.
I already have a BA in the Fine arts and graduated in 2008. i had a short run in graphic design and then got laid off and couldn’t find a job. Would it be worth it to go back to school and get an associates degree in physical therapy assistant?
Okay, l was pregnant when this all began, I asked my OB/GYN when I first noticed it in November . It looked like a bruise about the size of a quarter above my right knee, it also looked raised. I told him my leg was numb around that area, and that if I walked a lot my whole leg would go numb and tingle.He told me it was a busted blood vessel and that I had extra fluid putting pressure on it bc I was pregnant, and that it would go away after the baby was born. He sent me to physical therapy for my back & this but it didn’t seem to help.
Well it’s been about a month since I had my baby and I still have the spot,still looks inflamed & numb.
The numbness when I walk has gotten better but I still have numbness around the spot and like a dull aching pain almost all the time. My toes sometimes go numb and get cold. I have an appointment with a neurologist, but I really don’t know who I need to see, this was who my Dr suggested if the problem didn’t get better. Would love some input. Thanks
I have had patella femoral syndrom in both my knees for about 4 years now. I am an active and competative dancer and no i can’t take it easy and i will never stop dancing. I wear knee braces whenever i dance and i have gone to physical therapy for about 8 weeks and the tracking of my patella has greatly improved it still rotates a little bit outward but it is alot better and my therapist said my knee control is ten times better. But the pain has barely gone away! I have done the RICE meathod millions of times and while the ice helps for a little bit it is short lived. Is it possible this is not PFS? Do i need surgery? My therapist said there’s not much more he can do…..how can i stop this terrible pain!!!!!!
P.S. I also have been off dance all this week and will be all of next
P.S.S I am a 14 year old female
