Whatever, Steph. I can see your diabetes from here. Why are you arguing? You don't have a dentical degree.
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Epic!
Put me in the "Steph needs a new dentist" camp. Getting a second opinion is only a reasonable reaction . But the diabetes crack would be my dealbreaker. (But if there are non-diabetes conditions that may cause slow healing, it might become appropriate to rule them out. Depending on how the second opinion goes.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Have an Epic birthday, Epic!

Our wings are not tired.
"dentical degree" makes me laugh. Definitely get a second opinion but switch dentists no matter what, Tep.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EPIC!!!!
Smonster, I'll happily pay for the fixin' of any of this kittens. Just let me know. And thanks for helping them.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am, however, wearing a spangly "Princess" shirt, and crown hairclips from Disney, and every piece of jewelry with a crown I could find this morning (which is kind of a lot).
Happy birthday, princess Epic!
Totally ditch the dentist, Tep. That shit is just not on.
I'm sorry for the whole situation, smonster.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I had the root canal, but still had soreness above the gum (between my nose and cheekbone)
That's kind of mine -- the soreness is at the way top of my gum. And it's only tender to the touch, like a bruise, and the tooth doesn't hurt. I'm baffled by the extremeness of the pull-it-now suggestion. Like having a bruised arm and getting it amputated.
I didn't respond to the first antibiotic so after a couple of days the endodontist put me on another antibiotic.
Dang, what is WITH all these dentists who are reasonable and actually realize that sometimes an antibiotic isn't going to work against every known pathogen?
Whatever, Steph. I can see your diabetes from here.
Naw, man; that's my asstastic ass.
Why are you arguing? You don't have a dentical degree.
I am TOTALLY a denticalologist!
(But if there are non-diabetes conditions that may cause slow healing, it might become appropriate to rule them out. Depending on how the second opinion goes.)
Well, I'm a slow healer in general. And yet not diabetic. It would be more worrisome if the slow healing was new, but I've been like this for at least 20 years that I can remember.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
"dentical degree" makes me laugh.
Me too! I keep going back to re-read 'cause it tickles me so.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday Epic!
And good for you, Steph, for sticking to your guns. I'd get another opinion too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
"I think you're misunderstanding our relationship."
I want this on a t-shirt, which I will wear everywhere and save time by simply pointing at it.

The status is NOT quo.
I seriously love you all. I just read the last fifty posts and was reminded of this a lot.
