My long nightmare/story!

You’re right I have to find the good in my situation. The blue sky is always there, even if we feel like we’re in the middle of a storm. Sending good vibes that you get a more clear picture of your path back to dental peace.
 
There's just no hope anymore my January appointment got cancelled because my lift was on call 24/7 to go to a+e. It got moved to feb (Last wk) but my lift bare faced lied to me about being around someone who should have been isolating,I now cant trust that person if they can lie about something so important+nearly put others at risk. What am I supposed to do? I'm still coughing/gagging through every meal it's such a struggle,much as I'd like to give up I also can't stay like this. ? p.s lockdown also sucks it's so lonely.
 
You're in a very lonely place at the moment and I really feel for you. Lockdown has turned everything we take for granted upside down and the toll on people's mental health is immeasurable. I've got nothing practical to offer you in how to deal with this setback, but one day you'll look back at this point in time and be grateful it's over.

Thanks yeah I know there's people to chat to on here but in reality I don't have anyone I can rely on,even when restrictions end.

Yeah if lockdowns ever finish I will be grateful but as for the dental stuff that's never ending that won't change.

Keep your chin up tazey. ??
 
Guess I'm now waving goodbye to the March appointment. ? ?
 
Anyone else have to swallow their food whole? due to their dental issues.
 
What happened tazey? No way to figure it out? ?
 
My sibling keeps relying on my lift she wants to see him days before my appointment,she knows full well I've got an appointment anyone would think she's doing it on purpose. ?
 
any way to message your lift and explain what's going on and that you truly need them and she doesn't? Surely they'll see your appointment is NEEDED and won't squander the opportunity.. I hope. Its worth a try anyway
 
My mother did, because she was missing so many of her teeth that she couldn't eat properly. And she lived like this for a good ten years at least. Probably longer. Though I'll never know why she chose to do nothing about it.

As for me, I'm trying to retrain myself to chew on the left side again. I've been favoring my right side for months, because I'm afraid of getting food stuck in this hole that was left behind when my wisdom tooth broke off. Not the same, I know. But it certainly isn't pleasant. ?
 
No he won't do that she's had issues lately+only has him to rely on (she's got him wrapped around her finger) he'll say what's wrong with doing both? we shouldn't be mixing households that's the problem she has a teenager+he's now back at school so it puts everyone at risk. If he cared about me id have got to the 2 previous ones. It's literally a kick in the teeth oh wait wrong expression.

Not anymore, but I did have to avoid chewing for almost a year. Now I tend to stick to soft foods but do chew softer stuff like pasta. I avoid anything crunchy or hard, or tough.

Well, that sucks. Sorry, I didn't know. Anyone else that you can get to take you? Its still early in much, when is your appointment?
 
It's so difficult, I know I've been doing it for so long now but it can't be doing my stomach any good. ?
 
Don't know anyone else that drives not that we should be mixing anyway.
