Cindy! How wonderful for you. I bet he was quite pleased with himself all day. What a great gain he made. I am so happy for you both. He's coming back, slowly but surely. I hope you congratulated yourself for your love and patience. That doesn't sound right, I hope you know what I'm trying to say, I'm tired right now.

What a sweet man you have there, Cindy!

You two have come a LONG way these past months.

CINDY,

thanks for sharing such a SWEET story!!!!! i understand about the tooth too. those idiots put me on dilantin for 3 weeks when i was in the hospital with the stroke that caused me teeth problems. after 2 years, 3 months and 14 days with braces, compulsive brushing ( electric) and flossing, AND a water pick MY WHOLE LIFE, i lost a tooth because of that dilantin, which was later determined that i didn't even need.

i went to a dentist, a peridontist, and an endodonist to get THREE opinions about that tooth, all said it had to go. i cried SO much my dentist kept asking if i needed more novacaine. i told him my pain wasn't physical, but emotional!!!!! losing a tooth to me is analogous to getting old.

i told them i DID NOT WANT TO SEE A HOLE, so they gave me a temporary bridge. so, after about $2500 and many tears later, you can't even tell it isn't real. i told them that i only wanted to be able to SEE my teeth if i was looking in a mirror!!!!!!!!

i feel your pain!!!!!
