OT: This Is It, Wish Me Luck!

[BOSSMANPC]

I had the surgery done because of a series of health problems that I was dealing with on a daily basis. I had a pertty serious overbite nad underbite. The surgeon said it was one of the most severe that he's seen in 35 years. My jaw was never at reast, So i always would have headaches, some days worse than others.

I only had 2 teeth that touched, so chewin food properly was a big challenge. I would swallow food in bigger pieces and take in a lot of air. That caused me to not get the proper nutrition from what I ate, and my stomache had to produce more acid to break down the food. THat would lead to a lot of problems with gas and things like that.

My teeth were also crooked and bending the wrong way to try and compensate. I had to have the braces on for about a year before they could do the surgery. ANd with a few other minor things that I know I am forgetting right now, that is why I had this surgery done.

Well if everything works out well the surgery will have been worth it. You may find you taste the food better when you can properly chew it.

Ah, I see. We don't mess with teeth, we leave that to the oral surgeons. Still, I bet you had to have more than one surgeon, huh? Like an oral surgeon and an ENT?

sounds like a fun day at the doctors office.

a shitty, shitty, shitty fun day.


to make things better and get you back to normal, I'm sending you a gift. Your heroin.. err... I mean"codeine" care package is on the way.

Right now I am trying to get over the depression that I am feeling. I haven't told my wife, but it's hard looking at a different face in the mirror after all these years. I am having a hard time with it.

I had bad problems with my teeth being crooked and all pushed together (if that's the best way to describe it). I waited too long to have something done about it and as a result, they all became loose and I had all of them removed rather than live with the pain. I doubt the pain was as bad as bad as IPW's. Not looking for sympathy or comparing my problem to IPW's, his was way, way worse. I just know about the mouth pain aspect of it. Sad thing is, I hate my dentures and never use them. They are the most uncomfortable things ever, so I've had to change my diet. I do eat healthier now though.

I had a surgeon who had a team of about 4 other surgeons.

Tell your doc IPW, maybe he/she can give you something for it.

Wow IPW, that sounds like a heck of a surgery. Hang in there man, in time it will be well worth it for you.

Ok, I am going to get off now. My face is starting to swell again, and I wanted to try to take a shower for the first time since the surgery.

I really do appreciate all the kind words you guys, and I thank you.

Take care.

I'm sure it's hard to deal with buddy. There's no way any of us could understand what you're going through, but know one thing. You're a great guy no matter what and you have friends and family to help you whenever you need it. I know all about depression as I'm on medication daily for it, ( for reasons I just can't talk about). If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you, we're all here for you. I don't know if what I'm saying helps, just want you to know I'm here if you need a friend to talk to.

 

[beantownmaniac]

Sorry to hear that man.

It's just a booboo compared to what you're going through, don't worry. I know I speak for everyone when I say you're in our thoughts and prayers. Take Boss's advice and talk to your doctor about your depression. Take care my friend.

Like I posted in this thread earlier my doc gave me Valium today for my depression and to help me sleep.

Also I agree with you clarkson the posters here are top notch and have sure been a help to me during some tough times. Thank You all ! you're all great people.

I think I'm off to bed soon and see how these med's work. 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night doesn't cut it.

I'm on meds for depression and anxiety, although hasn't been bad lately. There were times when my whole body would tremble for no reason just sitting here. I'm still in therapy, and though it's been going well, sometimes I can't talk about my problem even though I trust my therapist. It's just the way I am. Some things I just keep bottled up. I feel the same way as you about our SportsHoopla family here. You're all the best, classiest people I've ever met and consider it a privilege that I was invited to be a member.

I know how you feel with the sleep problems. Some nights it takes me hours to fall asleep and it's not a good, deep sleep. More like being half asleep and restless. I wake up off and on all the time. I hope the meds help Boss. Have a good night.
