Two steps forward, one step back..

It is like a macabra dance. I have completed all the pre-op appointments and was waiting for the surgeon's office to call and schedule my appointment with the surgeon (last thing to do before they will submit the paperwork to the insurance company) when I noticed a problem with one of my teeth. Okay, so I have a cavity, right?! Wrong! The root canal that was supposed to last forever hasn't so I am now scheduled to have a minor surgery to repair the root canal so that I can save the tooth and the crown attached to it. This will take place in a couple of weeks. Then, if everything heals correctly, I should be good to go for an August surgery. I swore I would not whine on this list, but I am feeling just the wee bit sorry for myself today. Sorry to all, but I know that you folks understand.

Keep marching towards the future and better health!

Why would your root canal delay your appt with the surgeon? I can see why it might delay your surgery a little, but not the meet with the surgeon. ?

Hmmm....

Root canal shouldn't be a problem, really. Funny, I had one this morning! I've had several of them actually, and they are so routine that I can't imagine that having one would create any problem at all.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
