It's obvious you have a caring relationship, and that's what counts. <br /><br />Sending Aussie wishes for a speedy recovery, and hugs for you both.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-2036324015556982562010-02-09T20:59:45.567-06:002010-02-09T20:59:45.567-06:00Having been married for 32 years, it is easy to fo...Having been married for 32 years, it is easy to forget that not everyone has had the stability and support that I've had. You've given me a different perspective to think about. I'll be thinking good thoughts that the procedure goes well and Rob heals quickly without too much pain. It's always tough when someone you love is going through a difficult time, but I know you'll be there to help him through this every step of the way. You are so thoughtful and caring--are you sure you're not related to my husband?Quiltluverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698174417233923277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-77555404362388750242010-02-09T20:30:40.999-06:002010-02-09T20:30:40.999-06:00It's such a big step I completely understand R...It's such a big step I completely understand Rob's concerns. And you are so thoughtful and considerate it's clear your commitment is there and Rob must understand that and be happy for that. (Sorry totally rambling but supportive ... I think I've lost the ability to think today.)Snoozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520345616959763509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-49487891878110489162010-02-09T18:43:33.730-06:002010-02-09T18:43:33.730-06:00Oral surgery scares the beejeebers out of me, so I...Oral surgery scares the beejeebers out of me, so I understand Rob's uneasiness. I'm so glad you have each other, even if it is sometimes hard to lean on someone else. Because at the heart of it, you know if something goes wrong, you're there for each other (even if you don't say it out loud.) <br /><br />My dad had to get a full upper plate when he was in his 20's. It never stopped him from eating steak, except for a few days between fittings.lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-54370518384392968502010-02-09T18:13:10.408-06:002010-02-09T18:13:10.408-06:00Wishing Rob and you the best and that he has a spe...Wishing Rob and you the best and that he has a speedy recovery. Your care and support for him will make a big difference for sure. My mom had to have dentures in her mid-20s, which was quite traumatic for her at such a young age. As a kid, my siblings and I didn't understand the big deal, but as an adult, I sure do. I'm sure it'll all be worth it though for a healthy new smile!Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-86179163523105465922010-02-09T17:16:23.085-06:002010-02-09T17:16:23.085-06:00Keeping you both in my prayers.

I'm sure Rob is totally on edge about losing his teeth, but it is one of life's little hurdles that we must endure...and with your help and support it will be<br />much easier. I'm sure you don't need my medical advice (I got my doctor's degree from Sears-Roebuck) but tell Rob not to let the pain get "ahead of him". If the doctor says to take pain medication take it as directed for at least the first 24 hours. Hang in there...hope you can get some quilting done.

I know about independence. I had to start being independent at age 12 and I just can't force myself to ask for help or support (aside from when I was in therapy). I guess that's why I have lots of acquaintances but not many I would call close friends. My husband is my rock. I think it's because we both have our own baggage and have seen each other through a lot. I hope that you and Rob can find that support in each other. Experiences like this can strengthen relationships if we are willing to let down our defences and dare to show a bit of our humaness. A friend of mine had all of her teeth removed when she was in her 20's. I didn't realize how difficult it was emotionally until she shared with me. She felt like a body part had been amputated and that her husband would love her less because of it. She was afraid that people would think less of her. None of that happened. I know being gay probably adds to that fear of non acceptance but if someone can't accept you as you are then they aren't worth knowing anyway. Anyone would be scared. I was scared just having one tooth removed (which didn't hurt afterwards at all by the way, I didn't even need an Advil). I can't imagine the fear of having all of them removed. In those cases I just try to remind myself that by next week the worst will be over and to just go for it. And it usually doesn't even take that long. Sounds to me like Sydney is doing well on her assignment too. In Vancouver they've just put a huge windmill up on a mountain to harnass energy. They had to use a huge helicopter just to move one blade it's so large. They wanted the 2010 Olympics to be "green". I don't think they foresaw the ski hills being literally green though.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778110892578808447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-1919021185140242362010-02-09T14:22:07.250-06:002010-02-09T14:22:07.250-06:00Hi Lane,

Oral surgeons are amazingly kind folks who provide good pain drugs. The best thing about oral dental surgery is that the recovery time from the surgery is short. The denture part is upsetting as well, I hope he gets a good fit and the adjustment period is short.<br /><br />It is hard to be needy, dependent and scared. I am sure that your sweetheart is all of that. I don't know what Rob likes, but women love flowers. Be there to hold his hand and give him lots of hugs.<br /><br />It does sound like Sydney aced her science project. Bravo!<br /><br />I'll be thinking of your family during this difficult week. Sending warm hugs from frigid Manitoba to all three of you. Would you like some snow? We have a ton!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053469261622557578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-4850597490816894242010-02-09T14:14:06.834-06:002010-02-09T14:14:06.834-06:00There will be hugs and prayers coming from Texas, ...There will be hugs and prayers coming from Texas, for you and Rob throughout this ordeal.
