AAARRRGGHHH! The Dentist...Good luck Victor!

Thanks, I've been to the Dentist before, it's not something I dread, I'd rather be able to eat and being toothless and unable to eat isn't appealing to Me, but to some in 2009 I guess it was....

Ok I see We're back and I'm back from Dr Zalman the Dentist, One tooth had a cavity, it was one that had been filled about 40 years back, I was told a root canal was $550.00 & a filling would be $80.00 or $630.00 total, the root canal was needed or no filling could be done, so I had the tooth pulled instead, also My other teeth just need cleaning at $450.00 which can be split into two parts, upper & lower for $225.00 each and that I can wait until July on that, that's what I was told, also was prescribed for pain & such some pills and told soft foods only for a bit, ice cream is ok I was told. I can't eat anything until the bleeding fully stops, maybe another 10 minutes. Doctor Zalman got His degree from USC in Los Angeles CA, He had the tooth out before I knew it or felt it too.

I got the bleeding to stop and I'm taking the pills that My Dentist prescribed for Me, one type for pain(tablet only to be taken while in pain) and the other type to be taken until empty(capsule). Oh and the rest of My mouth is ok I'm told. Yay!!!

So the Dentist is for the moment taken care of, it was explained that some thick buildup on My teeth does need to be removed, I've knocked off some 3 pieces,but I can do no more with My finger nails, the thickest is on 2 lower incisors on the back side of those 2 teeth, being in Barstow I'll just have to call around, as $450 for the whole mouth or $225 for each jaw(upper or lower) has been said to be a bit high....

The Staff and the environment(the aquarium and the office in general), not to mention the Dentist(USC Alumni) are very good as the Dentist injected Me once and had the tooth out with some wiggling and a pull, I didn't feel a thing and the nurses did a good job too, lots of encouragement from them, nice. The tooth had been filled about 40 years ago, they were amazed that the tooth had lasted as long as it did, I did try, their on Amory Rd off of Barstow Rd(If You see a Tank on the right, turn around and hang a left, after the freeway).

Oh and for a bit I can't eat any hard food, no chips or crackers and no soda, but ice cream any other soft food is ok, something to do with swelling on the ice cream....

I'm putting off going to the Doctor a for a Day or so, but then between a Dentist, installing 2 New tires plus rotating the old good tires with the 2 New ones and FedEx delivering 1500 packets of Sweet and Low Sweetener from Amazon, plus I'm working on the PC still, I'll get there, just not this week, and I'm not so sure I trust My driving under prescription pain killing pills. And yes I'm tired....

OTS: The Dentists Office has a smaller Aquarium than what My Doctor or I have(the Dentist has what looks like an 80 gallon aquarium), they both have fish, I lack a good stable base as the floor here is weak fiberboard, what I need is some carpet, plastic and some custom cut marine plywood for support, about 1" thick I think, 100 gallons of water could break the floor here if not properly supported across the at least 2 floor joists.

Cause it's already done, it was just installing an extension named noscript for the Firefox browser and sweeping the PC for malware before I forgot about it, at one point I found a trojan-horse virus, noscript is now at work, getting sites to work and not effect other ones isn't easy and the medicine I'm taking Makes Me drowsy, but then I just woke up from a nap. I'm taking clindamycin and acetaminophen-cod. Pic has been edited for privacy, hopefully it's enough editing.

I got these 3 flakes off a tooth or two, to get more off on My own I'll have to spend about $7.88 on ebay for a dental pick and mirror. This is as sharp as I could get the picture.

See the doctor about the very low possibility for checks on bowel or colon cancer. That would explain the rectal bleeding.

I had the same over 5 years ago, and my brother had the same (family history). They found colon cancer and surgically removed 17" of the colon. In my case there was lots of benign polyps that were removed.

They keep checking me every three years.


I can't see why Medi-Cal won't help, I have it myself. They are slow to get going but they came through. At first they turned me down but came back later and said ok.
