Hi Terry, I haven't heard from you in forever! I kind of skipped out on Medium for close to 8 weeks, so maybe that's why. But I'm back at it, writing stories that no one reads and will never get boosted! Jesus, what a cluster of issues. The dental thing though -- that has got to be very expensive. How can you afford it? I need work and got an estimate of $1,800 out of pocket--that's AFTER Medicare would pay $1,500. I flat out can't afford it, so I'm just doing my best to take care of the teeth that I have. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you! (No more nuts. I would die.)
