    I had all my teeth pulled out because of infection. The spoon lady gave me the courage to go without teeth. Thank you Abby. That's right I have no teeth. So what!

      I have trouble with my teeth, having 2 root canals and an extraction next week, I’m having trouble chewing my food. How do you cope

      @@lesleyhubble2976 I actually had 5 sets of teeth made before I concluded that no dentures were better than ones that didn't fit. At the end everytime I put them in I would be gagging and vomiting within 4 minutes. The last straw was trying to have dinner at my sons table and vomiting at dinner.
      A denturist finally told me that what they had done to me was condition me to vomit.(Think of Pavlov's dog) The man was kind enough to tell me that in time I might be able to tolerate dentures but for the present implants were the only option. At that point I did not have 10k to pay for implants so I have no teeth.
      I have a small Black and Decker chopper/ blender that I use to chop raw or hard foods. I chew with my gums because for digestion oral secretions are necessary. I have lost a lot of weight and am down to 25.2
      BMI .
      I am off Diabetus meds. The infection is finally gone and I feel better than I have in years.
      Listen to your own perceptions and do whatever you need to do to take care of your own body. God be with you.

I believe if she’s your friend then she’s positively your friend and you can trust her and she would be there for you….now that’s a friend. I would love to sit down on a porch somewhere and just listen to her stories…I think she’s amazing. May luck and love be with you Abby forever….and enjoy your travels or whatever you decide to do in life.
