Oh no @Matata! Dental problems have plagued me for the past 3 years. My first tooth fractured 3 years ago when I was eating a shelled pistachio nut that still had a small piece of the shell and I bit down hard not noticing it until it was too late. Extraction surgery and then implant done months later. Then 18 months after that another tooth with a huge old metal filling fractured necessitating another extraction and implant. I hope you don't have to go through the same thing!
 
I am supposed to have bariatric surgery. I spent the entire year testing, and I finished that phase. I met with the surgeon to schedule, and he said that my tsh is a 12 which is severely hypothyroid, and I have severe sleep apnea. If I don't get my tsh down, and lose a little weight as a result, and get my thyroid hormone under control, he will dismiss me. I am slowly upping my thyroid dose, but every time I do, I get horrible side effects. I am doing it every other day, because the days that I take it, I get excruciating knee pain and can't walk. Today I did not take it and there was not much pain. my body has to get used to it. I am doing absolutely nothing these days. I have so many great things planned. I guess a few more months won't be the end of the world.

Same with me. Filling fell out. The tooth continued to crack & break while he was prepping it and now I have a temporary crown for the next 2 weeks. I'm happy that the tooth didn't need to be extracted.
 
Trigger warning- sad post.

Yesterday I found out my dog has a cancerous tumor behind her heart. I am gutted. The vet said she looked good but I told her I thought my love has cancer. It's the little signs. Her labs are good, she enjoys her meals, she's happy. But her resting respiratory rate was too high, I could see shortness of breath with activity, she sleeps much more deeply this last month. I noticed at times she appears uncomfortable. So the vet did a chest X-ray (previous X-ray in December did not show a tumor) and the large tumor behind her heart is visible. It's pressing on her trachea.

2 months ago she had a rough night. She looked uncomfortable, her respirations were high. Hubby and I decided to wait until morning to take her to the emergency vet because the care there is dismal for the most part. We have had 2 very bad experiences.

By morning she was fine. I knew, I absolutely knew she was not cured and something was going on and I suspected cancer. I felt the hand of God on me and the whisper in my ear that I was given the gift of more time. So the last 2 months hubby and I have made sure to let our love know how loved and appreciated she is. I honestly can't express how much we love her. She is the happy spot when we come home from a long day at work. She is the comfort that 'home' brings. She is our everything. We love our kids, our grandkids of course. But she is the daily and sometimes hourly dose of happiness and love that feels like medicine if you know what I mean.

The vet gives her a month to live so realistically that means maybe a week before she starts to suffer so much that life becomes pain. I don't want her to suffer. The vet is reaching out to her oncologist friend but doesn't offer any hope with that. With my last dog the oncologists were booked at least a month in advance. So maybe she can pull some strings. I doubt it so not getting my hopes up. I called and left a message with the oncologist we visited before. I will call again later.
 
@Lisa Loves Shiny, my heart goes out to you and your sweet dog. Sending you (((hugs))). ❤️
 
I’m so sad to hear this @Lisa Loves Shiny. Your love for your dog comes through very clearly in your post….it’s heartbreaking when our loved ones are sick. Best wishes

My heart goes out to you, @Lisa Loves Shiny.

One of our beloved Smooth Fox Terriers was somehow, just "off", and I took him to the vet. Similar to your beloved, ours had a large tumour just behind his heart—he was 13 at the time. We were shocked because he'd always been so healthy. Similar to your beloved, he was a joy in our lives. He was already deeply loved, and we made sure to give him ridiculous treats. I fed him literally by hand, which he adored.

I like to believe that they know they are loved...and that they know we are doing our best for them.

Sending lots of virtual love to you at this most-tough time...
 
@Lisa Loves Shiny, I’m so sorry. I’m hoping you get more time with her. You can feel how much she means to you both in your post. Soak in all the cuddles you can with her. Please know we are all here for you.
 
I'm so sorry. I know how hard it can be to know you may lose a beloved pet. Let's hope you can see the oncologist and perhaps a course of chemo would help. It's pretty easy on dogs if it's something that they think will help.
 
@Lisa Loves Shiny I'm so sorry. Give your baby a nice, big puppy hug from me. Is this your little chiweenie?
 
I'm so sorry @Lisa Loves Shiny, sending lots of love and good wishes to you and your sweet doggie at this really hard time.

I had a classic roller coaster day. This morning I was scheduled for the long anticipated first of 2 laser treatments for facial wrinkles and rosacea. Last night half of one of my back molars peeled off like an iceberg calving. Called dentist today and couldn't get an appt. util next Wed. They called an hour ago and due to a cancellation I shall be shortly on my way to having the tooth fixed -- me and my glow in the dark bright red swollen face. The numbing cream from this morning is just starting to wear off and they'll probably numb my mouth. I'm still relieved that I don't have to wait a week to get the tooth fixed. I warned them that I'll show up looking kinda spooky.

This is my nightmare. I have a back molar that I know is tik-tok.

Stuff like this usually happens to me on a Friday night when I have the entire weekend to worry about it.

Yup. That's also been my lived experience.
 
Exactly! My fractured tooth, necessitating the tooth extraction (re: the pistachio nut incident) happened to me on Christmas day a few years ago!
 
I'm sorry. Have you been tested? How bad do you feel and I hope you feel better soon.
