Thanks for the wishes. At this point, it's going to be the more minor (is there really such a thing) arthroscopic surgery, unless he finds more when he goes digging. Trying to keep the cutting as small as possible.
I probably shouldn't say anything, especially after I tried to get you to hold back a bit, but my wife and I both went the full denture route 2 years ago. Both had poor teeth, (thanks genes), and hers were going especially quick. Common to a lot of middle and up age Koreans. Anyway, wanted to get them out of the way before retirement, while we still had insurance. FYI, the whole pulling and dentures came to about $1200 each, our share. Couldn't pass it, as we were spending that much almost yearly just keeping what we had. Didn't want them to "eat" us alive for the rest of our lives, and end up getting them anyway. Guess you can just take that as a demonstration of determination. Once we know what we want, we go for it. Hah! And they're great, too. But, just like NBE, not for everyone. Stay warm all! Patti
