Stunt boy had oral surgery today and came through it very well. He was a bit out of it afterwards. I still stand by the idea that surgeons really just like cutting people up for their person amusement on some level.
Stunt boy is with CPG this week so I’m not sure exactly how he faired the rest of the day but he was still asleep around 4:00 p.m.
His teeth have done all the things the orthodontist has pried them to do with wires, expanders and other torture devices. The amount of work on his teeth has a price tag more than my first car.
There is a little bit of crazy. You can still buy a car for what it costs to get braces and there are those in our government who dare to say our health care system isn’t serious out of touch and completely inappropriate.
Then insurance companies saying that things like braces are cosmetic are hoping people don’t look into periodontal problems many caused by not having teeth which are straight and that are easy to clean. Related to that serious enough dental problems can lead to your death with no other health issues. They, the insurance peeps, are hoping that you’ll no longer be their customer when you need those services and then can deny that coverage too and just pay to have them pulled and pay for dentures.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist but the system isn’t there to help you it’s there to help itself.
Anyway the point is that Stuntboy is hopefully done with the major things too his teeth. Saying that I want to be clear I have no problems paying for or taking him to the appointments. This is an investment in my son, and in his being able to have a healthy smile and in large part a healthy life.
That’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow
Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday
