Hey I'll be like that guy was that looked Medusa in the eyes.

 

[Uncle Willie]

When I die I'll probably just be one big bone.

Should we all be so lucky ..

Should we all be so lucky ..

I dunno. At that point... kind of a waste.

Yes, but it could make for an interesting funeral ..

Brought To You By The "For What It's Worth" File ::

About 12 years ago, at the urging of my Regular Dentist, I had what is known as gingival flap surgery to treat a medium case of gum disease (periodontitis). My gums were separated from my teeth and folded back temporarily to allow the oral surgeon to reach the root of the tooth and the bone.

She then did what is known as scaling and root planning, essentially deep cleaning the plaque and tartar, ending with stitching the gums back in place ..

The end result being, I kept my real teeth, however, at a relatively large financial cost .. in fact, I still have all but two Original Teeth (if you discount the Wisdom Teeth, which had to go anyway and left taking most of my Wisdom with them) .. which, I guess means the procedure worked .. although my teeth are now getting weak and after the chip, I "chew lightly" .. read on for chip info ::

At any rate, a few weeks back, I chipped a piece of a molar off during a Cheetos Binge Eating Session (Crunchy Style, thank you) .. the chip was not enough to reach the root, and, in my drunken stupor, I felt the chip in my mouth and thought "That's odd, it feels like a small rock" .. fishing it out and realizing what it was, I promptly retrieved a small jar and stashed the chip in water, thinking maybe the Dentist could just glue it back on .. .. I mean, they sew fingers back on, why not glue on a tooth piece .. ?? .. (on a side note, I am consulting with Saul Goodman of Screwem, Goode & Hart to decide if a lawsuit against the fine folks at Frito-Lay might be in the offing)

The end result of all this being (yes, I know it took a while to get here, but when has anyone known me to be concise .. ??), I have been informed that if I decide to go with Dental Implants at some point, thus having some, or all remaining teeth removed, it will require the grafting of some sort of cadaver bone into areas of my jaw, with which the "bushings" will need in order to properly "embed" .. it's the gift that just keeps on giving .. I'm all for recycling, and this scenario certainly takes it to the extreme ..

How this may or may not relate to your scenario, I have no idea ..

I do believe that you just flat talked me out of the consideration of dental implants.

Tell me about it I have to take stool softener 1/2 cap of Muralax in Smooth Move tea every night. When I tried the cleanout my body being as screwed up as it is retained most of the fluid. I gained 5lbs overnight, thought I was going to have a heart attack. My wife just had to take a bottle of Muralax mixed in white grape juice and worked fine for her. My old doc told me all I would have needed was an enema since I have very little of my stomach left and intestine is shortened but I made the mistake of going to the VA. Never again. I had it up both ends. They couldn't complete the rear one because of my heart and Fentanyl and of course they tried to use Fentanyl which made my BP drop too much. My wife they used that stuff that Michael Jackson died on and no prob.

Got mine done today. Details to follow (maybe not detail but, results. Details might be a little much! ) Things worked out in the prep department. Anyway point is, Propofol (Michael Jacksons's favorite sleep aid) was what they used. No remembering details for me! Nope, don't want to.

Like I said earlier, "I'm sorry Mrs. Bode but, we tried everything including a belt sander and couldn't get the smile off his face!" But, Oh, what a way to go.

Just a few for the Fine Young Ladies on the Thread .. while I continue to maintain non-disclosure on my age, and, it's irrelevant anyway, these may give you at least a few hints since I consider these, and many others, my coming of age soundtrack .. which is all you're going to get ..

All i have to say then is...we're approximately the same ageand I ain't tellin"

Yes, but it could make for an interesting funeral ..

I do believe and open casket would be out of the question, might even required a custom casket.

There's likely a YouTube (pun intended) anyway .. although I don't know this from personal viewing experience ..

"Come on baby, light my, er, candle .. ??"

 

[oldbroad]

@Uncle Willie may require extra handling ... after all age has consequences ...

well then I'm feeling a bit feisty, so....


the rest of the title should be

" I'm a hell of a lot better".....

Scoping worked out as previously mentioned. Results were a couple of polyps removed and sent for analysis. Everything else ok. I have to say the doctor (Hassan A. Nissan, MD, no kidding) has improves his bedside manner with age. He does both ends, not at the same time thankfully, and used to be a real Ahole. Much nicer these days. Of course maybe it's because he's been my GI guy for 20+ years and we have finally come to some sort of understanding.

 

[oldbroad]

poo...neither did this one
