Beverly, I'm a bit worried about the spitting out too.
The one I bought has two 'platforms' that go between the back teeth, and a band that tucks between the bottom teeth and gum. link.
It's super soft and the bit between the teeth (see what I did there?) is nice and thick, but not obstructive.
If this one does not work, I will definitely get the boiled kind. And a small.
The one I have is actually adjustable, which is nice.
I'm wearing it around the house to get used to it and because I'e noticed that I grind when upright as well.
Perhaps I can train myself not to!
I guess the good news and bad news is that I don't have any jaw pain, ever. If I did, I might have gotten to this before grinding off all my enamel.
Sorry about the bad link tag there. I can feel a certain angel stompie glaring at me from afar.
Ugh. I need to borrow more money from my parents. I hate borrowing money. But I'm not going to have enough to cover my next rent check, because, even though I started working on August 15, my first paycheck doesn't come until September 30. And I know that I'm lucking in that I can borrow money from them, so that I don't end up spiraling into worse money issues. But I still hate asking.
I know the feeling, Hil. I'm sorry for the necessity.
I'm glad the one you have is working, Bonny. Makes a huge difference.
Can I have some kidney~ma for ltc? One of her kidneys isn't draining properly and we have to go for a test on Monday to figure out if there is a physical cause. Her pediatrician said it is probably nothing to worry about, but I'm still worried.
sj
, you can have all the ~ma in the world. I'm just sitting here, amazed that you have your baby, know she is a baby girl, and are dealing with being a parent (I'm really sorry about that last bit -- it's hard).
So yay, ltc (she's a little teacup, yes?)! I hope her kidney problems resolve. I am so happy for you and TCG. It's hard being a parent, a first time parent, and a parent of a child with health challenges. My hope and prayer for you and your baby is that everything will be okay, and if it isn't okay, it will still be okay. All my best for you and your daughter.
Hey, Bitches. :)
Thank you, Cindy. We got the results of the test today, and everything came back normal. ltc (yes little teacup) is on an antibiotic, which we're hoping resolves the issue. We go back for a follow up ultrasound in a couple of weeks. The poor thing is all gassy from the antibiotics, which I hate.
Aske,
I ws going to say more so I htink my goal with my therapist and this case manager is go get me to the point where I can move in the spring instead of trying to wait another summer or fall. Part of me wants to give up and move now but that's not pracitcal.
I don't know how your insurance is configured these days, but if you've got (or would be getting) "Obamacare" your life may be a little simpler if you move during an open enrollment period.
We got the results of the test today, and everything came back normal.
Yay beautiful ltc and her normal kidney! I've been galloping through a massive catching-up read, worrying about the test results all the way.
