#to this day i have never experienced any pain as bad as the wisdom tooth abscess
Text
I realized I was trans when I was 21, but for personal reasons I was not able to begin transitioning until this past year. I started hrt on April 12 2022, and my life has since taken a swift and drastic turn for the better. I've never been happier!
I never believed hrt would ever be possible for me, and so it didn't even really occur to me that top surgery was a real option now until I was a few months on t. It had always felt like such a pipe dream. It was a shock to realize that this was a pipe dream that could now become real! I began doing serious research around maybe 3 months on hrt.
I did what I imagine most people do. I searched surgeons near me on topsurgery.net and made a list and put pins in a map to see them all. After a little more research, I narrowed them down to a few potentials.
I noticed some people have very specific results they're looking for. They may even fall in love w a surgeon and travel across the country. I feel a lot more flexible. In truth, I'm just happy to be here, in this place I truly and wholeheartedly didn't think I'd live to see. Besides, i dont think I can really anticipate what my results will look like: it will be what it will be, and if there are cosmetic issues, they will be issues I can learn to deal with. Problems can arise with any surgeon, and I think as long as I pick a professional I trust, that's as far as I can control the outcome. So I was not picky with my options.
2 surgeons offices got back to me. I scheduled consults with them both.
At this point of time, I was experiencing a surprising rollercoaster of emotions I had not at all anticipated. For years before this moment, I was nothing but eager. If I could have flung myself onto thr surgeons table, I would have done it at the drop of a hat. But now that it was real and in front of me and I actually had to wrestle with my emotions about it, I experienced a shocking hesitation.
To this day I can't define these emotions exactly. I discussed it in therapy a lot with my wonderful therapist, who offered a lot of insight, but I never had an aha moment where I could name exactly what I was feeling. (I got a therapist specifically for my transition, knowing it would trigger other events in my personal life that would rock me emotionally and I'd need some help learning to manage my emotions. She's been fantastic.) It's possible that I still can't name these emotions because I'm still feeling them! Truth be told, I do not know. I'm usually pretty decent at identifying my feelings, but no matter how much I journaled, these ones were unfamiliar to me.
I spent a long time asking myself what I was scared of. Did i not want surgery after all? No, I decided, that was a resounding no: I wanted a flat chest. That I knew. Was I pushing myself too fast emotionally? Did I need to slow my transition down and let myself adjust? This was possible, though every conscious part of me didn't want to take anything any slower. I'd waited 27 years, and every other change I'd experienced had been like taking a first breath of relief. I'd never wanted to slow down before. Was I just afraid of surgery, having only had one bad experience with a wisdom tooth surgery in the past? Also certainly possible.
I had nightmares about hospital rooms, surgeons with rusty knives, waking up without anesthesia, and stitches popping and my skin falling open while I tried to pull myself back together. At 19, I'd gotten my wisdom teeth removed in the basement of a residential house, reacted poorly to the anesthetic, and had painful infections for a year. And who LIKES surgery?
I also knew my family wouldn't be involved in this process, and I felt nervous having surgery and taking what felt like a very daunting step in my journey without them. It would be nice to have them as part of my support system, but I knew I had to come to terms with the fact that they were not capable of being parents to me in all aspects of my life.
While I grappled with these confusing feelings, I was also making a plan to save money to pay out of pocket and filling out paperwork for the offices I was communicating with. For a few brief moments, with my credit card bill in front of me and nightmares of rusty knives and blood fresh on my mind, I wondered if I wouldn't be able to have surgery at all. Maybe this was too hard.
I've been extremely lucky and extremely supported since the beginning of this year, and I'm happy to say I got over these roadblocks.
I want to be helpful and give you advice if you're dealing with similar thoughts. I think I needed time to adjust to the idea that top surgery was real now, and that I was very alive and very lucky and good things were possible for me. I needed time to visualize a happy surgery, one without nightmares. Luckily, I didn't need all that much time comparatively. After a few months of therapy,a lot of journaling, and watching more youtube videos of peope having positive healing experiences and visualizing myself in their shoes, I became at peace with my decision and felt the excitement I had been expecting to feel the whole time.
I had 1 consult by this point w Dr raphael. I'd done my consult online only, since he's a little far from me. I sent in photos of my chest and talked at length with the secretary. I haven't met the dr yet, but I don't really feel the need to. He's done beautiful work on other people--thats good enough for me. Soon after sending in my photos, the office got back to me with a quote for surgery. I'm paying a fantastically cheap 7500 out of pocket, 1200 of which is a down payment.
I'm not wealthy, as I'm sure you can imagine. But I had a very good feeling about dr raphael, so I canceled the other consult, even though the other office could have potentially taken my insurance, and I scraped together the money for the down payment. This was a hard decision to make because I know I don't make much money, but I loved dr raphaels results and I had such a good gut feeling about him that I decided to take the leap anyway. I have marketplace insurance anyway--it's possible they wouldn't have covered the other office in the end.
I'm currently saving up the money to cover the time I'll be away from work, and I'm very happy to say I'm nearly done saving that. After that, I'll save up the money for the rest of the out of pocket cost. However, I will be financing what I won't have saved by the time April comes around. I've already set up a loan with a Healthcare credit bank recommended by the drs office, which was shockingly easy to apply for. If you'd like me to give you more info on that, I'd be happy to! Just send me a message.
And that's pretty much got you up to speed. I'm anxiously waiting my date, trying to be as frugal as possible. My luck in being here at this moment and having this opportunity is not lost on me. I know this is something I'm very blessed to have. Beginning hrt snd now getting this surgery date have been two of the best things to ever happen to me. Sometimes I wonder about what would have happened had I not had the courage to begin transitioning, and all I can say is that I'm somehow living the best possible life available to me. Even a year ago, this was not possible for me. But the karma wheel turned. If you aren't in this place with me yet, you can be in the future. If you are here, I'm excited for you! I hope this post and my future posts are a good resource for you.
I will continue to update as more happens. If you want to ask me anything about my experience, feel free!

When to get emergency dental treatment?
I'm not sure if I should make an appointment for emergency dental care in my area. Which issues fall under the category of emergencies?
1. Broken or fractured teeth
Quickly repairing cracked or fractured teeth reduces the risk of complications such as tooth decay, infection, and the progression of structural damage.
2. knocked out teeth
Emergency oral surgeon are particularly knowledgeable when it comes to knocked-out teeth. If you act quickly, we might be able to save your tooth. Call us immediately after the incident for instructions. Consider the following tips to ensure the best possible chance of a successful re-implantation:
3. severe toothache pain or pressure
Grasp the tooth by its crown. Don't touch the root.
Locate all tooth parts and rinse with warm water to remove debris.
Re-insert the tooth into its socket by your best effort. If this doesn't work or is uncomfortable, place it in your mouth between your cheek and gums to keep it moist.
Toothache occurs for a variety of reasons. Accurate diagnosis and treatment of the underlying problem is important to ensure future dental health. Please let your doctor know if you experience any other symptoms, such as fever, ear pain, or swelling.
4. unexplained tooth sensitivity
If you don't normally have sensitive teeth and symptoms suddenly appear, you may have an infection or injury to your teeth. Appoint an urgent dental care to get to the bottom of the inexplicable tooth sensitivity.
5. Tooth decay (tooth decay)
Dental caries deteriorates teeth over time. Deep cavities eventually expose sensitive tissue at the roots of teeth. Our dentists relieve pain associated with other treatments and restore correct teeth with fillings or cavities.
6. tooth abscess
A tooth abscess is caused by a bacterial infection that usually starts between the teeth or at the root of the tooth. Symptoms include severe toothache, facial swelling, fever, bad breath, swollen glands, and pus-filled sores on or near the gums. If you have symptoms that indicate a possible abscess, call our emergency dental practice immediately for treatment. Preventing significant problems can help with prompt treatment.
7. Loose or missing fillings
If your filling goes AWOL or starts to wobble in your tooth, there is an increased risk of tooth decay and structural damage. Call us to arrange a replacement of the filling as soon as possible.
8. Broken crowns or missing restorations
A broken crown or missing restoration means your weak and vulnerable teeth are exposed. Our emergency dentists will provide you with a temporary or permanent replacement to protect your precious smile.
9. Orthodontic pain or injury
Irritation, pain, and even injury are possible when orthodontic wires and brackets don't work as they should. Allow our after-hours dentists to make adjustments to stop further damage while also easing your braces-related discomfort.
Pain and injuries from metal braces are not uncommon. If you are experiencing orthodontic pain or other issues, we can alleviate the symptoms and help stabilize your braces to prevent future injuries.
Conclusion
Emergency dental care is appropriate when symptoms are affecting your well-being or ability to function. The following symptoms and conditions can and should be treated as an emergency.

PSA: Wear a retainer
I’ve posted before about getting my wisdom teeth out in January, but I haven’t talked much about my weird recovery period afterward. Now that I’m all better, I thought I’d share my experience.
The actual procedure went startlingly well, given that I was almost 27 years old (most dentists recommend patients get their wisdom teeth out under age 25 so the teeth aren’t as deeply rooted into the bone) and had four impacted wisdom teeth (one very severe) and a minor connective tissue disorder that could complicate things. Props to my amazing oral surgeon. The procedure was only 15 minutes total, they had me on laughing gas and local anaesthetic rather than completely putting me under and it was totally painless, I wasn’t even prescribed pain pills and had next to no pain in my incisions after the third day. I healed quickly, barely had any swelling, only took two days off work, didn’t suffer from any post-surgical complications like dry socket or infections. Everything was going perfectly and I was healing ahead of schedule— until I wasn’t.
The only minor problem I experienced was a common complication called “trismus” or lockjaw. I could barely open my mouth after the procedure. I could barely even eat a spoonful of yogurt. I have a very small mouth and dodgy joints, so it was no surprise. This usually goes away after about a week. Mine took several weeks to totally clear up, and after that, my jaw was super weak from being out of practice- which makes total sense. Eating chewy or crunchy food felt like eating concrete.
Then, I began experiencing a dull, pulsating feeling of pressure above my upper right teeth. Exactly where, I couldn’t say. It was worse when lying down. I chalked it up to post-surgical nerve weirdness or trying to eat food that was too hard to chew and tried to stick to soft, easy to eat food. It didn’t get better. Instead, the pressure turned onto a dull, throbbing ache. I stopped chewing on my right side altogether. My gums became tender and inflamed. I became so preoccupied by the constant pain that I kept obsessively sucking at and poking at my teeth with my tongue, trying to find the source of the pain. A crack? A broken filling? Poking at it made it worse, yet I couldn’t seem to stop.
I went back to my dentist three times in two months, fearing an abscesses tooth (I once had an abscesses baby tooth and this felt similar) but he couldn’t find anything wrong except my swollen gums. He prescribed me a prescription mouthwash. I went to a periodontist to see if I had a gum infection or something. He said my mouth looked healthy. I ran out of my dental insurance for 2019 when I got my wisdom teeth out, so I was paying for all of these visits out of pocket.
I began to lose sleep, and the pain spread to the whole right side of my face. I could no longer lie down on my right side, be kissed on the cheek, eat or drink anything hot or cold, even smile while a breeze was blowing. My face was insanely sensitive. I couldn’t sleep at all without slathering my teeth and gums in Oragel to dull the pain. I was taking two ibuprofen every 4 hours. It was worse than the immediate first few days after getting my wisdom teeth out. It was May, over three months after getting my wisdom teeth out, and it was getting worse, not better. I could still barely chew and not at all on my right side. I was getting despondent and crying all the time.
Finally, I went back to my oral surgeon to make sure I didn’t have a dislocated or fractured jaw or something. He said I looked healthy and my mouth had healed perfectly but noted that I showed signs of clenching my teeth at night, which my dentist had also seen. I knew I clenched my teeth because I’d worn holes into my old retainers but didn’t think it was a big deal.
I used to wear retainers at night religiously after getting braces off because I didn’t want my wisdom teeth to push my teeth out of line when they grew in. After the procedure to remove them, my mouth was too swollen and tender to wear them, and after it had begun to heal, my teeth had shifted too much to wear them comfortably. Plus, the holes I’d worn into it were pretty gross and I figured it was time to retire my retainer after almost ten years.
My oral surgeon went wide eyed and told me to NEVER stop wearing a retainer, not just for aesthetic purposes but for my bite. He told me that my tooth-clenching/grinding had been so bad because I’d stopped wearing my retainer and that my jaw was always feeling tired and weak because I was clenching it so much every night. He urged me to get a new retainer from my dentist ASAP and told me to come back in a month if I still wasn’t better.
I was skeptical, especially because the retainer was $500, but desperate, so I went for it. They even gave it to me half price for $250, only charging me for the top retainer but gave me both!
Within three days, my pain had significantly decreased. Within a month, it was gone. Now that it’s July, my mouth is 100% back to normal. I can eat nuts, apples, bagels, whatever- on both sides of my mouth, without pain.
I know I’ll feel kind of goofy wearing a retainer at night for the rest of my life but it’s a small price to pay. I feel a million percent better. If you’re thinking of ditching your childhood retainer, DON’T, especially after an oral surgery. It can really confuse your poor mouth!

Blood, Sweat and Tears - A Wisdom Teeth Removal Story
I don’t know about you, but if I wake up to pee in the middle of the night, the chances are I will not be able to get back to sleep. When I sleep, my mind turns into a vortex where dozens of thoughts spin simultaneously - positive things and anxiety inducing things. If I become aware for a few minutes, the thought I might land upon when gaining consciousness might be soothing - which helps me return to a sweet comforting sleep afterwards. Or it might just be the latest anxiety inducing thought or thing that makes me angry - and in that case, my brain is like “hell no, you’re not going back to sleep. You’re awake now and I’ll give you enough energy to ruminate for hours about a stupid illogical thing”. So yeah, I woke up at 3:30am, it’s 5:47 am and I couldn’t fall back asleep so I guess this is the perfect time to tell you the story of my wisdom teeth removal.
Tumblr media
Money anxiety has been deeply rooted in me since I was a child, and for this reason I didn’t go to a dentist for more than 10 years, because somehow I preferred to hang on to the idea that not spending money is more important than my oral health. I finally gave in (no need for applause, really) and I went to the dentist, fixed what needed to be fixed and scheduled the most dreadful thing (in my mind) - a wisdom teeth extraction.
Pre-Extraction
I postponed and delayed the surgical removal of my teeth for as long as I could. After I finally managed to schedule it, I asked everyone that I knew had a surgery done at any point in their life, things like “How did you prepare for your surgery?!, Were you afraid? How did you cope with fear? Did it hurt?”. The answers I received varied from “I knew I had to do it eventually so why stress about it?”, “You just do it and get it over with” or “Oh, you won’t feel a thing, I haven’t felt a thing it’s so fast and easy”. I don’t know what answer I was looking for, but none of these were “it”. So I tried to motivate and encourage myself by changing my thought pattern - I would think things like “my friends went through painful C-sections, uterus removal, cancerous tumour removal - and you’re shitting your pants for this?”. I also watched dramatic youtubers exaggerate their teeth removal story for ad money but that only stressed me out more. Don’t worry, all my efforts to calm myself didn’t work - so I succumbed to desperation, anxiety and playing torture scenes from movies over and over again in my head until the day of my surgery.
The Day of the Surgery
I imagine this is never a fun day for anyone, especially for those like me who never had any type of surgery in their lives. All those hours before my appointment, I kept thinking that I would do anything in the world not to have to go through this. After feeling sorry for myself, I kept trying to think how awesome it will be, and how relieved I will feel when I’ll walk the fuck out the dentist’s door. But then I would return to the torture scenes, playing those in my head over and over again, and then back to the image of me walking out of the dentist’s door. As I was getting closer and closer to the dentist, I kept thinking “You don’t have to do this. You can postpone it forever, cancel the appointment last minute, walk away.”  It would have been easy to chicken out, but I knew I have to keep walking no matter how much I dreaded what was going to happen.
The Surgery
I walked in the dentist’s office, feeling as if I knowingly agreed to be tortured *self pity intensifies*.
My teeth surgeon is a very successful and skilled doctor - she went to Med School twice (so that’s 12 years of University) and also has a very long CV full of accomplishments. In theory, I knew I was on great hands - but that’s not why I was scared and stressed. I was scared because I had to go into unknown territory and feel things I never experienced - teeth extraction, sewing the holes left by my teeth and strange uncomfortable sensations in my mouth in the following  2 weeks. The first wisdom tooth was out in less than 10 minutes  - which was awesome! I had anaesthetic injections so I didn’t feel a thing. The second one? Let’s do an imagination exercise. Close your eyes and picture yourself in a Tom & Jerry episode. Now picture Tom pulling a door with his hands and feet, frustrated, trying to get it open to catch Jerry. No matter how hard he tries, he’s barely budging the door. He tries to cut the door open with chainsaws and tools, for 2 hours. Finally, after working hard for so long, he manages to open the door. Now, come back to reality - Tom was the dental surgeon, the door was my wisdom tooth. This whole experience wasn’t horrible, it was more unpleasant and tiring - it’s not fun to feel like someone could potentially dislocate your jaw, nor to keep your mouth open for 2h. But hey, I had so many anaesthetic injections, I  didn’t feel how she was cutting into my jaw bone.
The Aftermath
I can’t tell you how happy I was to fuck off as soon as the surgery was done. I was given an ice pack, mouth care instructions, a drug prescription and the recommendation to return in two weeks for the surgery thread removal. I kept icing my face for the next days, take the prescription drugs and trying to ignore the unpleasant tingling of the long ass thread the doctor had to leave in after sewing the hole in my mouth. My face didn’t swell too much, so that was nice. I only ate on one side of my mouth for 14 days and panicked whenever any food wanted to make its natural way to the other side. Eating took me much more time than usual, because my jaw was a little clenched from the trauma it suffered (cutting into the bone) so chewing was painful for a while. After two weeks, I went back, they took out the tread and sent me on my merry way.
Conclusion
I survived! And you will too!
Everyone’s experience is different, so reading/listening to other people’s wisdom tooth removal experience won’t actually provide you with much information to work with.
Not knowing exactly everything that happens is a plus! You would just worry for things that are not actually that unbearable or painful.
If you’re going to hell, keep going! Try to be as optimistic and calm as you can. Maybe you won’t be able to do so at all, but the most important thing is to go through with it even if it’s scary, even if it makes you wanna chicken out really bad.
Practice what you preach! I kept preaching to everyone “you should see a doctor for that”, “you should never postpone a medical check/ procedure”  - so I knew that chickening out is not an option. You need to lead by example, and encourage others to do so if you want to see people improve and live a better, healthy life.
Postponing the extraction of the wisdom teeth can have bad consequences in the future. You don’t want to be in excruciating pain and praying for death when you decide to go through with something you should have done years ago.

Your Teen’s Wisdom Teeth Need to Come Out: What You Should Know
Ever wondered why wisdom teeth are called wisdom teeth? They’re called that because they normally come in between ages 17-21—when young people are old enough to have gained some “wisdom” in life. Some teens and young adults get lucky and have no difficulties when these teeth come in. But sometimes the teeth come in impacted, meaning they have no room to grow.
Impacted isn’t always bad. I still have all four of my impacted teeth, and my dentist tole me they’re high up enough in my jaw that they can stay in. That is, unless they do become a problem.
Why they might need to be removed
Your teen may need his or her impacted wisdom tooth/teeth pulled if he or she is experiencing:
Pain
Infection
Damage to a nearby tooth
A cyst around the wisdom tooth develops
Surrounding bone is damaged
Complications with braces or other orthodontic procedures
What to expect during the procedure
You can help your teen’s nerves prior to the procedure by giving them a heads up on what to expect. Explain that the dentist or oral surgeon may use one of three types of anesthesia. The type used will depend on how complex the removal will be. The dentist will use one of the following:
Local anesthesia. This involves injections near the wisdom teeth. Teens who’ve never had local anesthesia before may be nervous. You can reassure them that the gums will be numbed before the injection is given. They’ll be awake during the procedure, but shouldn’t feel pain—some pressure and movement but not pain.
Sedation. This type of anesthesia will put them to sleep during the procedure, so they won’t feel any pain. They’ll also get local anesthesia to numb the gums. The anesthesia is given through an I.V.
General. For more complicated removals, they may be given general anesthesia. This is medication that’s inhaled through the nose, and also puts them to sleep. The surgical team will monitor your teen throughout the procedure.
The steps the dentist or oral surgeon takes during the procedure can very depending on the complexity of the extraction, but the basic steps are::
1: The dentist or surgeon makes a cut into the gum to expose the tooth and bone
2: They break the tooth up if it's easier to remove in pieces
3: They take out the tooth
4: They clean the area of any chips from the tooth or bone
5: They then stitch the incision to encourage healing
6: Finally, they put gauze over the site to control bleeding
What to expect after the procedure
Wisdom tooth removal is outpatient, so you’ll be able to take your teen home afterwards. He or she will need plenty of rest the day of the procedure. After that, normal activities can resume, but nothing strenuous. Drink lots of water - and no straws! The sucking action can pull the blood clot out of the socket (gross, I know). Eat only soft foods for the first day, then introduce semi-soft when your teen can tolerate it.
You can expect some blood, swelling and bruising. But, here are some warning signs of complications that you and your teen should be aware of:
Swelling that worsens a few days after
Fever
Severe pain that doesn’t go away with pain medications
Pus oozing from the socket
If complications do develop, call the dentist or oral surgeon. He or she will determine what to do. In the meantime, he or she should get lots of rest and TLC! For some pointers on how to get the most out of your next dental check-up, check out the Top 10 Questions to Ask Your Dentist below!

Life Update: Ted Turns Two/Eighty
Ted is two today, which means that I must have entered some sort of space-time vortex since giving birth to him because I can genuinely say, without a hint of over-exaggeration, that it seems like only last month when I bought him home from the hospital.
I can still remember the argument that was happening in the hospital reception when I arrived to book in for my c-section, I can still feel the sting of the Clexane injections I was given post-operation. (The anti-clotting Clexane injections were, for me, one of the worst parts of c-section recovery. Self-administering injections when you’re also trying to work out how to breastfeed a hard-gummed, furiously hungry newborn is just no fun.)
But here we are, two years down the line, and young Master Ted can say “bum bum”, “poo poo” and quite a few other useful words and phrases. To me he still looks just like a baby – still has the fine, wispy hair, the round face, the funny little walk – but to everyone else I’m pretty sure he would be classified as a Proper Little Boy.
I mean he puts his feet up on the footstool to relax, for goodness’ sake. When he’s pacing he jams his hands in his pockets, he strokes his chin when he’s thinking; he’s one step away from smoking a pipe and wearing a monocle. He’s two going on eighty!
And I don’t like the idea of being without babies. Being a “person with babies”, or “a person with very small children” has been something of a comfort blanket for the past few years. It’s allowed me an excuse for always being completely exhausted, for never going out, for cancelling things and limiting my travel and taking long afternoon naps. What’s my excuse now? I’m still knackered (perhaps more so), I still shudder at the idea of going out out and spending time away from home becomes less appealing as the months pass, not more.
It’s a funny old thing, watching kids grow – a privilege, a joy, a source of great amusement and a definite constant reminder of good fortune. (I mean, two kids when you thought you’d have none; what could be a luckier win?) But at the same time there’s a sadness when each stage passes, there’s a sort of low-key panic when a familiar little quirk or habit suddenly ceases to exist and is lost forever in a jumble of confused memories and discoloured bottle teats. When you realise that they won’t ever cling to you like a monkey again when you climb the stairs, when it dawns on you one morning that someday you won’t need to pour their cereal or butter their toast. Nobody really wants an eternal (highly-dependent) infant but at the same time, it’s nice to be needed. To be put on that pedestal that makes you provider, protector and educator – a kind of demigod.
I’m convinced now that parenthood is mainly just enduring the constant swing from one emotional extreme to the other, multiple times a day, and then wondering whether everyone else is experiencing the same thing. In the space of five minutes I can feel pure, unadulterated elation, wondering how life could possibly get any better and thanking the stars for my good fortune and the next I can be completely flying off the handle, dealing with two consecutive screaming breakdowns, thinking about how the time I had my wisdom tooth sawn in half, filed down to the root and then sewn back under my gum flap was actually less painful than dealing with a particularly difficult bedtime session.
Babies are hard enough, but add in the calculated whining and moaning of a three year old on a mission to win the Battle Of Wills and you find yourself hiding in the airing cupboard silently banging your forehead on the side of the water tank. Clonk. Clonk. Give me strength.
Mind you, with the whining comes comedy of such unintentional brilliance it should be regularly documented for posterity. Angelica has become obsessed with Fairytale Role-Play. Mostly Cindarella – she is, of course, Cinders, even though I try to be very modern and encourage her to be the Handsome Prince (“but his looks don’t matter! Let’s call him the Funny and Kind Prince!”) or the Evil Step-Mother (“maybe she’s just really tired and sick of doing all the cleaning herself, let’s give her a break”). So I spend a lot of time riding around on a hobby horse, trying imaginary glass slippers on imaginary suitors (male and female) whilst Angelica sits on the sofa shouting “me! Me, me Handsome Prince! Over here, my foot will fit the slipper!”
I put in lots of time doing role-play and lots of time being a sort of toilet companion, sitting bowl-side and encouraging bowel movements to come forth whilst Angelica gives me a running commentary and progress report.
“It’s going to be stinky Mummy, I can tell. Here it comes, no that was a bottom burp! Here it comes – no a bottom burp again Mummy! You need to be patient. This might take all week.” Indeed.
Mr AMR and I have, with a sort of silent agreement, slipped into alternating the morning duties. So one day I’ll get up with Ted, who wakes up about seventy billion hours before sunrise, and the next morning Mr AMR will. Now I hate this arrangement, because getting up on your own, in the dark, when you haven’t had enough sleep, is really, really depressing. I don’t even like it in the summer. The thing I hate most about it is that it makes me resentful. Yes, I could spin things around and marvel at how I get to spend an extra couple of hours with my cherubs, alone, but at the same time, getting to spend an extra couple of hours in the bed – alone – sounds pretty good. No responsibility, no noise, those extra hours are the best quality of sleep you can ever have. If you could bottle the feeling that is “someone else having full resposnibility for your children whilst you half-listen in a snoozy, in-and-out-of-sleep sort of way” then you’d be a billionnaire. Because knowing that they are safe, that they are happy, but that someone else is temporarily doing everything…is golden. Bloody hell.
I taunted the Big Freeze and then it came; we’ve been more or less snowed in since Friday morning, with a particularly cold night icing things over and sealing the deal. Mr AMR has managed to get out – nothing can thwart Friday Fish n Chips – but there’s no way I’m skidding up the hill just to fetch a pail of water. Apparently my car is four wheel drive (who knew?!) but I’m still not setting out on the road to disaster; we have frozen croissants and Mint Magnums, what else do you need for crying out loud?
Right, off to try and make Ted a dinosaur cake for his birthday. If the results are particularly bad then I’ll show you a picture for your amusement. I’m going to fashion the legs and neck from chopped up chocolate mini rolls and make the head out of a cupcake – what could possibly go wrong?

My Diagnosis
My diagnosis was one of the scariest moments of my life. I remember everything about that day.  The day is pretty much stuck as freeze frame images in my brain.  When you hear you have cancer you automatically think, “ will I die?” Lucky for me, it wouldn’t be that type of fight.
First and foremost I want to speak to the importance of regular check-ups and doctors visits. I , like most men did not frequently visit my doctor or dentist. For me it was about healthy eating and frequent exercise. I believed that as long as I did those things there was no need to go to the doctor. When I was younger I also didn’t have medical insurance, so check ups were not even something on my radar. Unfortunately as I got older i kept the same habits even though I was able to obtain affordable coverage. With that said, make sure you take check-ups seriously.
I honestly thought none of this could happen to me. I was a track athlete in college (albeit a frequently hurt one), I had completed two half marathons, and I am a vegetarian.
Back to my diagnosis. I originally started by experiencing two things, pain in my front teeth and shifting of my teeth. The pain was not overwhelming, instead it was more of a dull pain similar to a toothache. I started to notice the shift about 2 months after the pain started. The shift was strange. It made one of my teeth appear to be longer than the other. I am someone who was born with two big front “buck” teeth so the slightest shift was very noticeable. At first I could slightly tell and didn’t think anything of it. I never got my wisdom teeth removed so i figured they were pushing my teeth into each other. As i started to keep putting off appointments, I noticed the shift becoming worse and worse. My tooth had began to shift about a full centimeter. After finally getting some time away from my job, I decided to schedule a doctors visit.
I scheduled the appointment to get my wisdom teeth removed and inquire about braces.  When i walked in, the first thing i did was show the dentist the shift and explain the pain. She agreed that it may be my wisdom teeth shifting so she started an X-ray. After the X-ray the dentist sat me down and began a cold test. The cold test was a metal rod that had this chilling fluid on it. The dentist proceeded to test each one of my teeth, to try to see if something was rotten. After testing about 3 teeth, she came to the three teeth closes to the front of my mouth. I did not give any type of response when she placed the metal rod on those teeth. She must have tried for 5 minutes to get a response, and nothing happened. This was the first sign.
I could now tell she was worried. She said to me that those three teeth had died. They had no feeling. Next she started feeling the roof of my mouth. This is when she made the discovery. She asked me, “ do you feel this lump behind your front teeth.”  I honestly hadn’t felt any type of lump. She began to explain to me that the lump was pretty significant in size and it was causing the shift in my teeth
 She then showed me the X-ray and told me the lump had eaten away at the bone connecting those dead teeth. After about 20 minutes of more tests and X-rays she directed me to another dentist with more experience. When i asked her what she thought it could be, she said it could be just a cyst that needed to be drained.  This was the first time I was told it was NOT cancer.I left that office and went to the next dentist, in my gut something was telling me she was wrong.
At dentist number 2 things were different. This dentist was older, and so was his practice. He introduced himself as semi-retired and taking very few new patients. We instantly got to work dissecting the lump. The dentist laid me back and gave me some numbing medicine. He was going to need to try and burst the cyst. He tried hard to drain it out. The process of getting his tools under my gums was pretty painful. I could feel him trying to peel under them to drain the lump. The problem was there was nothing to drain. The lump was hard as a rock. I could tell he was too was worried. He then explained to me that he would like to do a biopsy. The biopsy was easy, he cut the lump open and took a tissue sample. The sample was about the size of a dime. They told me it would take about two weeks. For yet another time I was told, “ Do not worry you are too young and healthy for it to be cancer. You don’t drink or do drugs so you will be fine.”
The next two weeks were nerve racking. I was Googling everything I could to find a diagnosis. I looked at pictures of oral cancer and I didn’t have any of the symptoms.  My wife told me to stop looking stuff up, I was only going to make it worse on myself. About 5 days after the biopsy the dentist called me in to see him. I was relieved to finally move on from everything. That day my wife had a doctors appointment at the same time so I brought my 2 year old son with me. 
 I can remember how strange it felt going to get my results. It felt like everyone already knew and I was walking the plank on a pirate ship. As soon as I sat down there was about 4 dental assistants in the room. I remember feeling uncomfortable. Then i thought maybe they were there to play with my son. I sat him on my lap and the Dentist walked in. He looked me square in the eye and said, “ Well you have cancer.” Just that simple, no apology, no warm up, no good news/ bad news sandwich, absolutely nothing- it was a straight diagnosis.  Everything literally went slow motion. All i could say was, “ What, What, What, What, and more What?” All the dental assistants were emotional. The girl who did the biopsy had started to cry. All i could think of was the fact that I had my boy in my lap, and that doctors appointment my wife had- was to confirm her pregnancy. I would be the father of another boy in 5 months from that day. 
I wanted to go home. I wanted to wake up. I wanted to just be a boy again. I wasn’t ready for  it. I didn’t cry, i was too much in shock to cry.  The dentist was speaking but it all was Charlie Browns teacher. The one thing I did manage to hear, was the word Malignant. That was huge. He told me that it would not spread, it would not kill me. Suddenly I felt a sense of calm. He told me that Ameloblastoma had a very low possibility of spreading to other parts of the body. It had a VERY low probability to take my life. I remember saying, “ Well ok this will be life altering and not life threatening- that is a blessing.” The dentist agreed. He then gave me a referral to University of Michigan Dentistry. 
I still was a wreck. The first person I called was my wife. She took it like a champ, she is the strongest person I know. She just asked me if I was ready to fight with her. She gave me strength,  I would see her later that day. My mom took it the worst. I am her only child, and at most turns I have tried to make good choices and have came out ok. She cried hard. She did not take it well. My Dad wasn’t shook, he never is. In his calm corporate manor he made me recount the interaction with the Dentist. He wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to die. He then would begin to research everything he could on Ameloblastoma. 
No one knows how Ameloblastoma forms or why someone gets it. Some believe it is from under-developed teeth. However, there is not a clear reason as to why or how it forms. If left untreated depending on your location you can have problems with your sinus or problems with brain. I was lucky. My tumor was located in the front of my mouth. It would not affect my brain, only danger would be contamination of my sinus. 
My doctors at U of M are the best. The first day I walked in as a referral, I felt right at home. Everyone from the receptionist to the head surgeon was amazing. My first day there I met the head surgeon in the Maxiillery department. I met every single person who would ever touch my file. All the way to the top, that was huge it made me feel important. Over the next 3 weeks I would undergo CAT Scans and plenty of other tests.  During this time I met my primary dentist Dr. Munz. She may be the nicest person I have met in my entire 32 years of life. She would counsel me on my surgery and the different obturators that I will have. I will speak more about the obturators later. After my 3 weeks, I was told exactly what would happen. I would be losing 6-8 teeth, all of the cartilage, bone, and tissue behind my top lip, and a decent chunk of the roof of my mouth. The surgery would be life changing, But not life threatening. Thank God!

How much damage will the other drivers insurance have to pay?
My son was involved in a collision this morning. The driver of the other vehicle pulled out right in front of him and he rear-ended them. The driver of the other vehicle was cited for failure to yield and the state trooper that handled the accident said that the collision was unavoidable on my sons part. The question concerning me is that my son did not pay anything for the car he was driving because it was given to him by my daughter. The car has a salvage title because it had apparently been totalled before but had been restored. The car probably would not be worth very much even had it never been in an accident because it is a 1986 year model Pontiac 6000. Now he is without transportation unless I provide it. Will they only be required to pay a salvage price for damages or what?

Affordable Health Insurance for small business owner?
I own a small retail store in CT and just received notice that my health insurance (for my family as well as my employees) went up by 23% (!). Now I'm trying to research online what the best options are in terms of affordability and coverage. I looked into HSA but am afraid that my employees might not be able to pay the high deductible out of pocket. I also wonder if getting individual health insurance (not via the business) would work if I pay a portion for each of my employees and if those tend to be less expensive. I pay 100% for my employees now and partly for their family members and would like to continue doing that but the prices are just getting ridiculous. If anyone has any suggestions I really appreciate it. Sadly, I am not internet savvy so shopping online has proven to be hard and insurance jargon just seems like a foreign language to me... :) Thank you
Why am I paying more for my insurance because of my credit?

The insurance I pay on my car is a higher quote than normal due to my credit and I'm just curious why that would influence the rates. How does having past outstanding debt mean I am a bad or unsafe driver? I am 30, have a college degree, have a good job, don't have anything negative on my driving record. I just don't think that it's fair to be charged more than another person because of spending habits; the two (in my mind) are completely unrelated.""

""Why are necessities, such as food, clothing and shelter mostly affordable, but not health insuarnce?""
Can't figure it out. Here in Tempe if a man were to work 80 hours a week and earn minimum wage with no benefits (remember, we have nine-percent unemployment now, higher than Belgium, Australia and Norway, mind you), he could bring in about $2,000 per month before taxes. He can get a studio for under $500 or a rented room for a little less; one month's worth of groceries, if purchased at the 99 Cent Store or Food City, could run him $250 per month, and a week of clothing purchased at Goodwill might run him about $100. All affordable, many options for the low-wage earner. Now, this guy actually works for a living maximum hours, so he doesn't qualify for state aid (I've looked into it, that salary is too high), and many jobs don't offer benefits, particularly low-skilled ones, so what's he to do? Let's say he has a pre-existing condition, therefore, he is either denied insurance outright or charged well over $1,000 per month (look at Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Golden Rule, Aetna, Cigna and United). So, he works for a living, doesn't smoke, no woman will have sex with him, he has no children, he doesn't do drugs, he has no gadges (iPod, computer, stereo), no car (he takes the bus), even after all that, he's still screwed. He needs preventative care, not emergency ward treatment as that's not financially viable for America long term, so what does he do: job offers no benefits, is denied or overcharged for health insurance, can't find a job with benefits, state won't provide the working man with state insurance...shouldn't he just quit working and become the welfare leach that conservatives revile because hard work is getting him nowhere?""

To leave the A insurance I would be charged 500$, seems like a lot. New policy (lets call it B) would be much cheaper then A. If I have A for theft and fire + B (full coverage) it would still be cheaper then A full coverage! Is that legal????""
How can I lower my auto insurance?
I am 20 years old. I live in Florida which is by far the WORST states to have auto insurance. I've only been in 2 accidents, both not my fault. One was a small fender bender (which my friend decided to get a PIP claim even though he didnt get hurt so he could snag some money from the government). The other i totaled my car, but that was over 2 YEARS AGO. This is a no fault state which sucks because both of them werent my fault!!!!! Currently my auto insurance is 253 dollars! I'm a college student and i CANNOT afford that, but thats the cheapest one I found. Geico and all the popular ones wont even look at me. And it also adds on the my mom was in an accident (also not at fault) she got hit from behind at a red light and of course they penalized her for that too. Florida is a fraud state, they penalize you for everything when its no fault. Does anyone know how i can lower my auto insurance? It's been 2 years since I totaled my car and almost 2 and a half 3 years from the small fender bender. I also got a small speeding ticket from maybe september or december of last year, but thats it. no other tickets. thanks!""

Best value Florida auto insurance?
I just moved from Illinois to Florida and am looking for auto insurance because my own company is upping my price from $125 to $275 a month with the same coverage (100/300K BI, 50K property, 100K UM, and roadside assistance) with the move. Upon obtaining quotes, the best I've gotten is with Esurance which is just over $200 a month. It seems that adding BI to any auto policy ups the price pretty heavily.

So I’ve been having a tough time for the last few months with wisdom teeth extractions. The two bottom teeth had come in sideways and were impacted so I decided to get them both removed after having a small infection to avoid more problems down the line. I knew it would be sore and unpleasant but I thought it would be better to deal with it now and save myself problems in the future.
My local dentist referred me to a clinic in the city centre to do the extractions and the first one was done way back in September. After you have an extraction done, it’s normal for the pain and swelling to become worse over the first few days before reducing again as it heals. It’s difficult to eat food because of the pain of moving or putting pressure on your mouth, but also because your jaw muscle is strained and it’s only possible to open your mouth a little bit. Like all wounds, it’s also possible to have infections including something called ‘dry socket’ which is essentially when the blood clot protecting the wound comes away and the nerve is exposed.
For the first week after the first tooth was removed, my mouth was very sore but did feel like it was incrementally improving. I had read about pain and the dry socket infection in my aftercare notes and online but the overall advice seemed to be “everybody is different” and I didn’t really know if my experience was normal or not. I had read that dry socket was excruciatingly painful shooting pain which seemed way more extreme than what I was experiencing. By the end of the second week, I had a couple of days where the pain was much better followed by one where it was worse than ever before, so I called the clinic who told me to come back in to check it out. Of course, I had the dry socket infection all this time! The dentist cleaned out the wound and packed it with a weird brown dressing which had a sort of hairy texture and smelled and tasted strongly of cloves. The pain relief was immediate and the wound started healing properly after that.
Things were looking good by the end of October when it was time for the second extraction. The dentist did mention that this one looked like it was in a potentially more difficult position than the first but I think it is hard to know for sure until you get started with the extraction. One of the roots of the tooth was particularly difficult to remove and part of the inner edge of my jaw bone got broken with the pushing and pressure trying to get it out, although the dentist decided to leave it in place in the hope that it would heal up alright.
At least this time around I had more of an idea what to expect from the recovery. Things seemed good and by Thursday I was hardly taking any painkillers (the extraction had been on the Monday) and I went back to work on Friday, but late Friday night I suddenly started having excruciating pain up the whole left side of my face and I felt sure the dreaded dry socket had returned. The clinic where the tooth was extracted was closed at the weekend but I called my normal dentist as soon as they opened and managed to get an appointment on Saturday morning. I was kinda disappointed that he didn’t put a dressing in since that had helped me so much before but instead he prescribed 5 days worth of antibiotics and a mouthwash and I just hoped that would sort it out quickly. 
Although the antibiotics helped a little, I was still in pain at the start of the week. I called my Mum who is a nurse and she advised to go back to the clinic who did the extraction so they could check it out. They cleaned the wound again and put a dressing in; the pain was immediately reduced to almost nothing which was such a massive relief. It was about 2 months since the first extraction and I was so fed up with the whole experience, the only good thing was that the teeth were out and it was almost over - or so I thought!
At work we’re right about to go into our mega busy Christmas period at where I work crazy hours and feel like I will never see the sun again (although it’s actually just 3 weeks). Remember that broken bit of jawbone? Well, last week I started to feel the jaggy edge inside my gum. I didn’t think it was urgent at first but within a couple of days it had erupted through the skin and was scratching the back of my tongue. So, back I went to the clinic on Friday afternoon to check it out. 
The bone might only be fractured and not fully broken as the dentist wasn’t able to remove it entirely. Instead, she just had to cut into the gum (and scrape out all the healed tissue from the most recent extraction), push it back and use the drill to smooth down as much of the jaggy bone edge as possible. She sewed the whole thing up pretty thoroughly when she was done and threw in a pre-emptive dressing to try to avoid more infections. I must admit that I did have a tiny emotional breakdown while I was sitting waiting for the local anesthetic to kick in; the thought of going back to the start of the healing process was pretty unbearable, although I’m happy to report that doesn’t seem to be as bad as the initial extraction so far.
It’s possible that I might have to go back and have the exercise repeated if the bone continues to move but right now I’m just so hopeful that the whole thing will soon be over. I have felt so tired and run down over these last few months, dealing with pain and discomfort and even just not being able to have normal food (usually I love to eat!); I have so much sympathy for folk who have chronic conditions or disabilities that deal with issues like these as a way of life. I miss socialising and seeing a bunch of my pals too and can’t wait to have things back to normal as soon as I can. Hopefully I’m on the mend now.

Emotional Exhaustion
SO.. I’m not hearing anything from God. So I haven’t taken any actions or steps.. I’m not sure that I am in His will right now. This is so exhausting. When did life start to become so wearisome? I’m SO tired. I’ve overcome a lot of my demons fm my past... like just watching Intervention on tv brings tears to my eyes on certain ones because I so get it. I get what it feels like to be abandoned by your entire family. To feel that pain as a young woman. To struggle to let others too close to you now. To hate yourself.. everything about yourself, and you don’t even know why. Other people might compliment me sometimes or tell me nice things, but I dunno if I’ll ever be able to feel that way about myself.. I know what it is to feel like you’re never going to be good enough. To feel like you’ve messed up too much in life and no matter how hard you try, you’ll never get ahead, you’ll never be independent of your family again, & you’ll always just be a loser. Look how hard your parents worked so you could be successful & now look at you. A wasted investment. The girl that had so much promise but now everybody just looks at with pity. Some people will just never understand. People who haven’t been children of a broken home... I’m sorry, but you’ll never get it. People who haven’t felt the pain of abandonment...you’ll never get it. Hypothetically.. people who haven’t used prescription/drugs to get through certain times in their lives.. you’ll never understand the struggle. If you’ve never experienced real depression, don’t expect to even remotely understand. People who haven’t been drugged & raped by random guys or their friends’ scummy dirtbag nasty ass boyfriends.. it goes on and on, if you grew up in a normal family got married and have been a house wife/supporter most of your life & now you have an almost picture-perfect family and everything worked out for you, you will never have the hustle, fitness, wisdom, wealth, or success of a woman who grew up on the streets.. bc you just don’t have it in you.. you can try, but you can never do it like she can.. but you get the point.
Even if I’m nothing more than a total failure right now in the sense of my expectations for myself vs. where I’m at right now in life, I think all these things have made me a stronger person. Do I know my worth isn’t defined by my job, success/failures, or anything else? Absolutely. I learned that the really hard way... that was the worst ride of my life yet. What goes up, must come down. And coming down was fast and furious and hurt like a bitch. That job was my passion.. I loved the industry, the people, the company.. I just got lost. I let a breakup devastate me & leaned on prescription pills to help me throw myself into my work. I wanted to do everything there. I had so much go-go, so much passion, so much will to take that dept. and make it better in any way I could. There were so many things I never got to do or finish. I had a lot of plans for ways to make it be better.. my work was all I felt I had left until I healed fm that relationship, and I hated myself. A new guy came into my dept. shortly before our breakup & I didn’t realize it at the time but I was feeling alone & with him, the beverages, the fun, the food, it all flowed freely. It didn’t matter what I was, if I acted like I was 5 or was somehow annoying or whatever my ex didn’t like about who I was or what I wore or looked like or if I had a clump in my mascara or a tooth that wasn’t the same shade of white as the others or a little butt or a big butt.. I felt like he liked me no matter what. And at that time in my life, that really meant a lot. I have never been an alcoholic myself, but I had no business being in bars with a married co-worker. That wasn’t right & I wish I had known better at the time. Most of the time we were in a group but still.. I just saw him as my best friend. I didn’t know any different.. I was in my 20′s and super stupid. I went from being the most timely person in college to the worst when I worked with him.. had I not been taking an rx for add I would have been such a better employee there. It really does matter who you hang with. Another lesson I learned, the hard way. And that enabling people, doesn’t serve them well in the long run, either. That work/life balance matters. But anyways, that drug was the tool I used to hammer my life & my bank account straight into the ground. I lost everything and I truly believe it’s because I was a lost soul who felt so worthless, but also bc it changed who I was. It’s my fault for taking it. I wish I never had. People don’t realize it but these things mess w/your body too... you may not feel it at the time bc it numbs you, but give yourself a couple years and you’ll realize things are not right. And it’s all your fault. Your fault for being a total dumb ass.
Ok so whoops.. kinda went off track there. Thank you mother PMS b/c feelings - tonight. Holy cow. Ah the monthly joys, lol. Back to what I was saying though.. my mistakes, my failures, even though I’m still not back on my feet.. I’m a fighter. These heartaches make you more resilient. God pulls us through things. Being stressed out every day, will have to help me one day. Or kill me. One or the other lol. Maybe it makes you stronger for later down the road. B/c it keeps me close to Jesus in a way that is entirely uncomfortable. I long for the day when I can be comfortable in life and have a relationship with Him in a much different way. I don’t know what that is, but I’m looking forward to that day. I picture myself finally feeling like I can breathe, surrounded by clear blue skies with the perfect white fluffy clouds and surrounded by beautiful water.. and just taking that time to be with Him in a new & different way. I am grateful today, yes. But the kind of grateful you feel when God works miracles. When God answers prayers in ways we can never understand or comprehend. I know I’m romanticizing this and that's bad too but a girl’s gotta keep the hope somehow. Lol. Ask and ye shall receive. Knock and I will answer. Come to me all who are weary, and I will give you rest.
I know I should just shut up and be grateful to have a roof over my head, food to eat, clean water to drink, hot water in my shower, parents that are alive and healthy, for friendships, for a job (even if it is emotionally draining and makes me so tired I literally don’t do anything much outside of it), I get all that.. sometimes the fact that I know that makes it even worse. Like I fight myself because I have feelings that aren’t what they’re supposed to be. They’re not pretty. Like so many people are just so much better than me because they’re all like oh be grateful, isn’t this great in your life and this great in your life or say things in a way that is clearly meant to make a point to me-- like I get it. Ok I’m not stupid. In fact a lot of people underestimate me bc of the situation that I’m in and that’s entirely frustrating too. Just bc you got married early in life and had kids and yadda yadda and you think you understand me b/c you went through something similar? I’m sorry but that’s not possible b/c you were married and I’m not & never have been. Or you didn’t bust your balls through college. Whatever it is. So that makes the situation entirely different, doesn’t it? I don’t want to feel this way, but I just have days where it’s really hard to be grateful and not want more for myself, ok? To deny this would make me a complete fraud. Does that make me a bad person? To want more for myself? To want to be able to have my own family, to choose who I will have Thanksgiving & holidays with, instead of still even at the age of 31 doing what mom dad and step parents put together for me? To want to have my own family where all my parents can come visit me for a change? Where I can serve them. Does that make me a horrid person? To have that want makes me feel like I am, terrible. To want to be able to have my own life? To want to get out of this town and this job.. to be financially independent again, if I’m not married or actually with someone... how selfish of me. To think that I could have that is probably just stupid. I was stupid in my 20′s and the 30′s really aren’t looking much better... lol. This is just how it is today. Not every day. Some days are easier than others & when I pms it’s just like all my insecurities come at me full force. I’m over it. Guys this is something you’ll never understand. Because estrogen. Lol.
People don’t become resilient because everything has always worked out for their lives. It just doesn’t work like that & I get it. Wisdom isn’t handed over.. you have to go through some serious shit to obtain that. You have to make some terrible mistakes. You have to get your heart broken time and time again. And then? Again and again and again. Your life has to fall apart completely when you least expect it. And it’s so not easy. Everything comes with problems. Everything does. And the grass is never greener on the other side.  
Now that I’m saved, I have dealt w/the guilt & shame of my past with the help of The Lord. He has given me the gift of eternal life. The greatest gift of all, to know that someday I will be in heaven with my Maker, where there will be no pain and no sorrow and where no one could ever love me more. Someday I will finally get to feel like I am at home. I’m blessed because I have the grace and mercy of my God, I have a forever Father, Friend, Love, Provider, Protector, everything I have ever needed and more --I now have In Him. And that gives me peace. In moments like these, it feels so good to know that. I’m an overcomer and I will keep fighting until it’s my time & He calls me home.
Now that I am older & can reflect back on things f/m my past, I can try to make better decisions in life. Now I can choose my own family for my future, people who choose me too. Outside of my parents and brother, I mean. People who have never left me. Everyone else I consider family or will come to, will be of my own free will and theirs too. Only that and nothing else. No more fake friends, no more fake family. Only real from here on out or nothing. I’m too old for anything else and I have no energy anymore.. so yeah, that’s that. Jesus take the wheel is my life anthem. Seriously. B/c I suck at life. Lol. So since I’m not getting anything from Him right now I’m just going to do what I can, whatever that is b/c there’s nothing bigger than Him and there’s no mountain He can’t move.. I just have to resist the devil and his lies, keep close to God, and keep my faith. Ya’ll it’s not as easy as it sounds but I am really trying. Even if I only post on here on my harder days.. at least I don’t affect anyone else this way & I get it out and get to move on. Tomorrow is another day.
