Aw babe, I'm so sorry to hear about Supe's teeth. On top of everything else, too! I really, really hope things work out for you guys.

I'm sorry to hear about Supe's teeth... when I got three of mine out it was only about $1000... it's a whole lot cheaper if they are being pulled and not cut, and if he can stay awake through it. Of course, that means he has to hear them cracking the teeth, but maybe he can hear cash registers chinging in his head and not think about it.

Bummer about Supe's teeth. My husband just had his wisdom teeth cut out on Friday. They put him out and he was glad for that. He did have a problem, though...he got dry socket. OUCH! That is where the clot dissolves and the bone is exposed. I took him back to the surgeon, though, and they fixed him with a little pain patch like instantly. Oh the wonders of modern medicine! I had mine taken out in MN at a really good office in EP. I forget the exact name, but they were GOOD! I don't remember having to pay upfront at all, though that was a while ago when there was still faith in people. I hate it when you have to pay for things up front. I went to a doc who made you pay your co pay up front and who put up a real stink about it or you didn't even get to go back to see the doc. They also ran your insurance card (called the insurance company) each time you went to see if your insurance was valid. It was awful. Needless to say, I no longer go to the guy.

This stuff really gets to me. When I got my job I no longer qualified for MA, which was fine- but having the girls covered until I was eligible for benefits should have been possible. No. With Supe's condition, I would think there would be allowances made. In a perfect world perhaps- anyway I sort of know how you feel on the in the limbo of qualifying for assistance thing.
