Vortex, I am so glad you are okay. Yes, you are going to be very sore and probably crazy bruised. Hot baths or showers, ice areas that need ice and as many drugs as you need and can safely take. Plus rest.

they will probably total it.

That looks really totalled. Even if it was a brand new car, it looks really totalled.

It also looks really scary and I am so glad you are okay and unbroken.

My stepmom is doing an implant now, Tep. It's definitely a process. I am sorry you can't keep the tooth. Glad you have a new dentist you like more.

Vortex, I'm so glad you are okay!

Steph it sucks about the tooth. but I'm glad you found a dentist you like who is actually listening to you.

There's a little temperature sensitivity, but my teeth have always been sensitive, so I don't blame the implant.

I have some with just a crowned root canal. It's right up against my sinuses but that is the first tooth where I feel weather changes or sinus issues. Sadly, not the only tooth. Just the first.

This, yes.

Also this. And I agree that the implant is probably a better option, though I know that money hurts like hell. Bah. I agree.

Oh, god, yes, Vortex. I'd be surprised if it wasn't totalled. My Jetta was a bit older, but it was much less damage. I feel you on being sad about that car--I still don't feel like my new (old) one is mine. But at least it's not a rental. I hate people in older Jettas when I see them in traffic.

And you can hate me! I think that's the car I got, but a couple years older.

I could never hate you ita.

As always, thanks for the support. I cannot express how much it means to me (and I think everyone) to KNOW that there are people across the country, the world who always have my back, are glad when I'm okay, and worry about me when I'm not.

Love you guys.

This, so very much.

Oh Vortex! So glad you are ok. SO GLAD. Take good care of yourself.

Yay, Cashmere! Good to hear good news.

Vortex, HMOG. That is some scary shit, and I'm glad your car sacrificed itself for your wellbeing successfully.

Dammit, Frankie ripped his dewclaw down in the quick, and it's dangling and he yelps and pulls away, and my claw trimmer is too small to fit around it without pulling unless he holds still, and he's licking it. I don't know what to do. I'm such a wuss when he cries, I can't stand it.

Vortex, your poor car! And poor you! I'm so glad you weren't broken. And that you have the good drugs. I too know the love of a sidelined car, and I'm sorry.

I would consider the implant option, were mine a single tooth, and were I made of money that didn't need to go for other exigencies of living. But it's four teeth. I'm not going to live long enough to get my money's worth out of four implants. But I'm glad the new dentist and staff are nice, Teppy.
