Im getting my new teeth!

Using Meth for 8 years I destroyed my teeth. In January I started the process of getting them fixed as a reward for being clean for a year. Things didn't work out as well as I had planned. I have a complicated bite and the first dentist I saw didn't want to do what I could clearly see was the right to fix my teeth. He wanted to give me a partial on top, but there wasn't enough room when I closed my mouth. So I went to a new dentist who agreed that a full denture was the way to go.

The dentures came back two weeks ago and I had an appointmet set to have my teeth pulled and them put in last week. But, then the dentist father died and so he closed his practice for a week so he could attend the funeral. My new appointment is now Monday. I am so excited to finally be free of the last reminder of my addiction. I even quit smoking so that I can keep my teeth as white as possible. I now have 3 months smoke free.

Congratz Emily!

That is great all the way around. I had to have my teeth replaced due to bone loss resulting mouth breathing at night from asthma almost 20 years ago and never regretted it

It will feel wonderful to see that bright beautiful smile and be reminded of your victories each time

Hugs

Congratulations Emily

All of us are proud of you. What you have accomplish took Herculean effort and awesome fortitude to do what you have done. Quitting smoking is difficult enough, I've been through that hurdlw years ago. But the addiction that Meth causes, I can't imagine. There isn't any obstacle a person can't overcome if they want it bad enough. I have no doubt that come Tuesday your smile will light up an entire room. I hope you cherish every moment as well you should. In your corner Emily. :groupwavereversed: Kathryn

That is great Emily. I shot meth before college and was fortunate to quit quickly. I think acid got in the way. The summer of love, 1967. Ijust got new front teeth. Mine had always been a mess and my father said he would have fixed them if i was a girl. This girl got them fixed. Congrats on the cigs too. Thats big. Its so hard not to slip with cigs. i've got 2 years now and hope to stay off with the help of my higher power one day at a time.

Hugs and keep smiling, Charlie

Hi Emily,

I have a set of implants, their whiter and prettier than I ever dreamed was possible for me. I had bad "teeth genes" I guess.

Wearing a denture will be an adjustment and you may need to learn some new tricks for talking and eating but that is very temporary. If you start to get frustrated, smile at yourself in the mirror and it will make it all worthwhile. Your dentist may adjust how they fit several times before you get a permanent set.

I especially like the look of my teeth contrasted with red lipstick. Pretty white teeth are very feminine and, hehe, that was the first step in my transition (I kept that to myself). It's so nice to have teeth that I'm not embarrassed to show off with big smiles.

Hugs,

Shari

Congratulations! That's truly a great story! You're going to love your new smile. (:

I hate my smile, but hopefully maybe I can fix mine the way I want them.

I want veneers on 4 of my top teeth, and get the bottom teeth straightened. Most of all I want to whiten them. >.>. *sigh* one day. .

      Maddee, you have a million friends.

      Our Maltese daughter-in-law makes a very mean Bolognese sauce, which we combine with spiral pasta. We pulled some leftovers out of the freezer for tonight's meal.   Tomorrow night will be chicken Kiev, with potato segments baked in the same dish, accompanied with boiled peas and broccolini.

      I suspect some of these people are not primarily LGBTQ+ but primarily get their kicks by publicly shocking other people.  They take advantage of the parade and think they can get away with it year after year, and sometimes do.  Not just the parade, but sometimes other events that provide cover for them to act this way. They do a great deal of damage to perceptions by the public and by the legislators against us.

      I used to smoke many years ago.  Now it makes me sick on my stomach which I consider a plus.

      I use a electric kettle and a French press.   I am not a fan of Starbucks.  I sometimes go to a local coffeeshop, but am satisfied with your basic coffee and a scone.

      Many "red" or "blue" states are not monolithic.  NC splits something like 49-51.  Actually, about 1/3 Rep, 1/3 Dem, and 1/3 nonaffiliated.     Since the legislature makes the districts, they favor the Rep to a 1 vote super majority.  Our Governor is Dem, and Dems can win statewide elections.   Of course you'd never know that with what is coming out of the statehouse lately. My point is that the "shifting" is not really shifting, it only reflects the actual population of the state.   When I was growing up I used to hear it said that "changing her mind was a woman's prerogative."  I embrace that.  I am fine with changing my mind when I want to.  Things change, sometimes we need to change as well.  I don't consider that as "unstable" - just not dead yet.

      Good morning everyone,   I’ve been working on a few projects and my internet screen time has been very low. Today is Primary Election Day for Indian voters. I will be voting later, but the most important thing I’m looking forward to is the reduction of political advertising. Let’s get back to regular daytime advertising which reminds me of the need for hearing aids, Medicare choices, and comfortable catheters. Heaven forbid I would need an accident injury lawyer to get me the big check. Only daytime TV can take a 30 minute show from the 1980s and make it into an hour long series. I really don’t watch that much TV because I prefer to listen to music while I’m in the shop or doing yard work.    The coffee is good, the morning songbirds are loud as they forage for their hatches.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I pretty much started out what some would consider as the androgynous phase of childhood puberty. Being the youngest sibling in my family, I was mostly seen wearing boy clothes at the time. As I explained earlier about my parents not showing me my birth certificate until later on in life, in the meantime before that happened, my daddy always wanted a boy/son in the family. It's been a long time, when I first started menstruating, it was a turning point in my life, followed by a series of car ride returns to the emergency room, patient profiling, and misdiagnosis.      From that moment my parents had stopped saying I was going through a phase. One night at my parents' home during midnight hours, they thought I was asleep, but I saw their bedroom light was still turned on. Out of curiosity,  I tip toed to their bedroom's door as I listened in on their conversations, it was the first time I heard my parents questioned about the gender marker on my birth certificate wither a hidden variation involved in my development.
