Hello friends and benefactors! I am approaching the next phase of my denture adventure! (groan, denture adventure was accidental, heh) I wanted to give everyone an update.
First, I would like to pay tribute to the first contributor to my http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/help-kim-kuhn-get-her-smile-back/326681 site. Judi Burnside suddenly died of an aortic aneurysm on 4/16.
I am bereft. Judi and my mother were birds of a feather. Both selfless empaths that taught me so much. Chief among the lessons was how to be friends without tearing each other down. They were dear to each other and had animated conversations; equally brilliant, well-read, creative, caring and giving. Judi enriched my life and I will sorely miss her. She had a beautiful smile!
Secondly, thank you again to everyone who has given, cared and shared my effort. I would like to send everyone a thank you photograph once I have regained my smile! In a couple of weeks I will be contacting known donors for your addresses. For those who are anonymous, I will hunt you down if I can!
Lastly, I hope within the next 10 days I will have set an appointment for the first gum impressions. I still have multiple bone splinters working their way out, I want to wait until these resolve before getting the dentures made as it is causing some swelling. I figure no sense being impatient and ending up with ill fitting teefusses. If anyone has any suggestions please leave me a comment, call, email, text me or whatever! I am still swishing with salt water, not finding many suggestions online.
I will update again when I go to the first appointment. Happy day!
