Medical Issues

[Shirley]

wait, gums aren't supposed to bleed when we brush? what?

all kidding aside...after years of no cavities at my check ups I had 3! drilled and filled today. My face,teeth and jaw still hurt.

I finally quit chewing (over a year now) and now I get cavities?! what gives.

That's not fair.

That sucks tdub. I have 1 filling and I don't think I needed it. Greedy dentist.

[ousdahl]

Wait, dental issues?

In the medical issues thread?

Actually, yer gonna need a whole different insurance for that.

The whole health insurance debate is one thing.

But why you need a whole different insurance for your teeth and eyeballs is a whole ‘nother can of worms

Gen Surgery Consult this afternoon to get rid of this mass in my colon. Good times! At least the part they biospied isn't malignant, and they don't think any of it is. So that's good. For now.

Now let's hope during this consult we can talk about the surgery, and get it set up before the 1st of the year, when the insurance $$$$$ starts over. I'd like this procedure to be done this year while I'm well past my OOP max.

[jhawks99]

Best of luck to you. Hope it goes well.

B2L, I’ll buy you another Johnny’s pizza if you show up to the doctor appointment dressed in leather chaps and a gimp mask

Glad to hear they're going to "do" something, and hopefully you'll feel a whole lot better going forward.

Good luck getting in before the end of the year, because you and nearly every other patient want to be seen before the end of the year, unfortunately.

Go ahead. Guess!

This hurts your credibility because as everyone knows, it's a hoax.

Hope your hoax episode is as mild as possible.

Do we get to hear it called ‘China Flu’ again soon? Can’t wait!

[Overlander]

I think the correct phrase is China FUNGUS.


Even though it isn’t

[jhawks99]

Wait, I thought it was Kung Flu.

[ChalkRocker]

Guess sympathy is in short supply in these here parts.

ya buncha hard-a**es.

My nose is a raw as a playground rasberry. Chills have stopped. temp has settled around 97.5°. Cough is nagging, but responds to simple cough drops.

Not that any of you care...

[TDub]

if it makes ya feel any better I dont have the vid (I dont think) but I've had this ridiculous cough for 8 or 9 days, a constant and nagging headache l, an occasionally drippy nose and now night sweats for 3 days with no sign of slowing

[ChalkRocker]

I worry about my heart, bc I understand it can damage the muscle.

And although I left work yesterday when the cough became pronounced, I was there most of the day. Hope I'm not a typhoid Mary
