Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I had upper/lower/genio. Some days I'm happy with my appearance, some days I'm not. Pain wise, it wasn't worth it for me - it's actually gotten worse. But, like I said - my case is pretty rare.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Ohhhh, poooh! I just tried to do a post to you, and lost it by a button pushed by mistake. Anyhow. Andy. DO NOT FEEL FOREIGN HERE!!! Hey. This group is for folks having problems with mouth stuff! You qualify, major league! OK? Now then. Does being a leap year baby mean that you only get a birthday every four years? If so, many happy returns, and enjoy your youth! Indeed, tell Papa to put on his best Big Bazooomer suit to talk with the doc. That's loony, in my humble opinion, that your docs don't care about your residual functional results, nor the pain you have remaining and the numbness. Somebody oughta jerk 'em on a short collar, in my book. But that's just my o. Still, let Papa be the biggest, bestest Greek Column on the block, with all the gilded acanthus leaves in place. Normal for the joint to pop in and out??? Well, mine does not. What else can I say? I would not be happy if it did. Nor if my knee did, for that matter. And yes, I can certainly understand your frustration. You wanna come down and see my nice doc? Holler at me, and I'll send his name and address. I think at least he would deal straight with you about what he could and could not do... C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Just out of curiosity, Andy...having a birthday on 29 Feb, do you actually celebrate every year on the 28th or maybe 1 Mar? How does that work? I've always wondered about that. Myself, my bday is on 25 Apr and I celebrate from 15 Apr - 15 May every year. :-) Smooches to cammie Cammie, I'm currently going home for my birthday next weekend (I'm a leap year baby) and I've got an appt with my ortho. I'm making my dad come with my mother and I because he's incredibly imposing. He's a big business man - and it'll help us because my ortho doesn't seem to take me or my mom seriously. I'm hoping that something good will come of it. I'm trying to get an MRI scheduled during my spring break (which starts the second week of March), and I've been trying to find specialists and what not, but my parents insist on me going back to the ortho and surgeon even though I know they don't care. My surgeon even said " oh, it's normal for your joint to pop out of place, it's just like a knee joint, etc. " Um, when he said that I couldn't believe it. He basically said the most complex joint in our body just " pops out of place, and you just have to pop it back in. " RIGHT... See where my frustration comes from? Anyways, thanks for all of your concern. I feel so foreign to the board, so many new people and so many vets are gone! I'm glad you're doing well though... Take it easy!

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 I celebrate on both the 28th and 1st most of the time. Why not? It's all up to me. One thing that stinks though, is that restaurants don't sing to me unless it really IS my birthday (the 29th), and so I've never had that experience. Oh well! Maybe this year?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Whoo-eee! for multiple celebrations, Andy. But I can tell you that it's overrated to be sung at. As a newspaper reporter, I had done a story about the nice local barbershop people who sing in quartets. And deliver singing messages in celebration. So I got " treated " to a serenade, in the major lobby of the newspaper building, at 8 a.m., when I walked in to go to work... Not the best adventure of my life, with everybody coming out from upstairs offices to watch. It's overrated to be sung at. Trust me on that one. However, if you wish for me to sing to you, I shall. You will live to regret it, though: Ba-ba-boom-pah-ba-boom. Ba-ba-boom-pah-ba-boom. Bah-ba-boom-pah-bah- bah-boom-pah, bah-bah-boom-pah-bah-boom. You do not wish to hear the accompanying harmonics. You would be wise, as well, to trust me on that one. And no. I do not play the trumpet. A failed flautist (not enough wind, and unable to support the instrument and play the holes) but a passable pianist, many, many Feb. 29ths ago... C. I do know a couple who got married on your birthday, one year, when it happened. They have been around a while, and are sweet and adoring. But they've only celebrated four or five anniversaries... > I celebrate on both the 28th and 1st most of the time. Why not? It's > all up to me.
