They will admit him under another Dr. If I have ANYTHING to do with it he will not see this Dr Russel again.

You go girl, get that bit between your teeth and don't let go!

York expect the wire coming out often. It happens a lot in the beginning. I found with my gd that it was easier to use a tweezers to grip the wire & thread it into the bracket. My fingers were just too big, couldn't see around them to get the wire in. I would hold a small flashlight in my mouth to help to see in there lol.

That has been my exact technique, great minds think alike
I've had to do it as soon as we got back from the orthodontics on Thursday!! Wednesday night it was a grape that caused it to come out and a piece of bread Thursday lunchtime!!

Yep its constant in the beginning because the wire is thin. Pretty soon he will figure out how to get it back in himself(maybe) ha ha

Its been my experience here that brackets come off the teeth pretty easy as well. Gd has swallowed many of them. If one does come off, try to save it. The Ortho can reuse it here. Saves some money if they are going thru lots of silver brackets.

Men definitely don't like to take orders from a female. My hubby is so stubborn that I can't even make a suggestion on how to do something without him going ballistic. I've found with some things its easier just to keep my mouth shut & fix it on a day when he's back to work

Sounds like our house, life is easier to keep my trap shut about certain things and just sort them myself. Mines stubborn too and always has to be right and his way or no way, or so he likes to think

OK, I am finally caught up! Congratulations to everyone who deserves congratulations.

Thanks everyone who sent me hugs for my situation with Mike. Hugs to everyone who needs one, no matter what your problem is.

Sorry about everyone's pets who are not as healthy as we all want them to be.

I put in for my transfer to PA yesterday. Called my daughter to start trying to figure out how to truck everything from here to PA. Trying to figure out what I need to sell, give away or throw away...... I have a lot of junk!!!!! I won't ne able to take my chickens, I am pretty sure. Will probably have to board my horse at a friend of Megan's untill we can find a place in the country. My outside dog will have to be rehomed....... Trying to figure out how to get my car, Mike's truck, my horse trailer all to PA is going to involve some serious planning.

Mike gets anxious every time I talk about moving, but, I think he is looking forward to better health care.

Oh boy, that's a big move! It's doable though! Been there done that with the military and critters. MD was ridiculously expensive for horse boarding. Ex DH got stationed in Hagarstown. I Boarded in Gettysburg for a few months till I got settled back in Mi. Beautiful country. When we moved out here from Fla, with 3 big dogs, 2 cats and a cocatoo, I bought a tiny Shasta trailer for cheap. Kenneled all the critters in it. Sold it for what I had paid once we got to Ca. It worked great! You can check with U-Ship too for hauling horse and trailer or whatever. They bid against each other. LOL on junk! I'm outta here within 2 years. It'll take me that long to get rid of my "assets"! Best advice I can give is keep a sense of humor and a feeling of adventure and excitement!

She said they might and to watch what he eats. Charlie would be having a trauma if he swallowed one, panic stricken I tell you!! She said if they do to save as she could reuse it. Kids get free dental over here untill they are 16 or 18 if they stay in full time education. But if brackets come off regular they would reassess treatment and could withdraw it or you would have to start paying private rates that are extortionate

Mike can not understand the concept of a low sodium diet. He thinks that not putting salt on his plate of food will work. So for breakfast he had grits and eggs. He didn't want toast, he wanted to save the two slices of bread for later in the day. So hardly any sodium at all since I would not let him have the salt. He lays down to nap and I go outside to feed everything. I come back in, he is awake, there is a napkin on the coffee table. I ask why he had a napkin, it was for my sandwich. WHAT!!!! A cotto salami, slice of cheese with mayonnaise on two slices of bread. So I count up the sodium - 850 mg!!!!!! More than HALF of the sodium he is allowed per day. He keeps saying, I didn't put ANY salt on the sandwich!!!!!
