I've Had A Rough Few Days

Just got back from the oral surgeon, I have to get my jaw wired shut for 6 weeks. Woop woop.









Thanks, hopefully, this gets fixed up soon.




Thanks




Unfortunately you're 100% correct




Especially for that area




Truer words never spoken




Apparently under MD state law they can't throw anyone in jail, regardless of age, for second-degree assault unless an officer witnesses it. But, MD is known for stupid laws.




Hit the nail on the head.




I've seen it happen down here before too. Really stupid.

So sorry to hear about this attack GC, senseless? Hope you get better soon and god speed! Sarge

Best wishes going your way for a speedy recovery! This really stinks. Too bad you're not on the west coast, we'd sic Guido on him. Full restitution, make his parents regret ever having him.

Wow! A Susanlynn9 sighting. And I thought a Yellow Breasted Woodpecker was exciting!

Sorry to hear this, hope you have a speedy recovery.

Since every states have different laws, and this is not a political forum, I can only hope changes be made to correct it soon.

I won't Tony. Sorry it took a while to respond, I had the surgery today, and was passed out most of the day.

Thanks macmerc and thisistheshow!

That's a good look!

Oh my goodness that's awful! I'm sorry you had to go through something like that. All of us have terrible days, but I'm sorry that these days haven't been kind to you at all.

We're all here for you man. Get well soon!

I would like to share a story that happened to me 4 years ago. It was the day that all of us got released from school early because Christmas break started. I was with a few of my friends, and I decided it would be entertaining to go over to a public playground and just hangout. I was in my early-mid teen years so I was still a complete goofball. There was this weird slide that had rollers on it, which was rather strange, yet I decided to try to run up it. Of course I wasn't thinking and when I tried to ascend the thing, I slipped and fell flat on my face. Blood was everywhere, my nose didn't break, but it was certainly damaged as there was a decent amount of blood pouring out of it. My mouth was also full of blood, and I can't describe the feeling but I knew something was wrong with my mouth.

I went to my father and he didn't think much of it, but I still knew something wasn't right. My friends took me to the emergency medical room, as it was not far away. The doctor looked at me and told me to call my father and get him to take me to the dentist to get me checked out. Turns out what happened was my front tooth had gotten pushed back or something, not entirely for sure even to this day. I had to go through a 3 month process of having a root canal, which is basically removing the nerve/root that is attached to the tooth.

It was extremely painful and uncomfortable, and I was quite young when it happened so not a very fun experience. But in the end, I'm stuck with my front tooth, that in a sense, is literally dead, as there is no blood flowing to it. The outcome of this is a grey tooth, which is very annoying because I constantly have to explain to people that I do brush my teeth regularly. Other than the tooth being grey, it looks as normal as any other luckily.

It was a lesson though, and a scar that I will carry forever. We've all had our bad experiences, and I'm sorry you had to suffer through this long and hard process.
