So much money

 I get so confused with people. People just vexed me to a certain degree and it's not getting any better as I age. I'm wondering if this is all function of the aging process but it's just wearing me out. I've been looking forward to today for a week or so because it's the second week since my extraction. The molar the last part of the molar I had pulled out that was crumbling. My appointment was about 10:45 this morning and I rolled over there about 10:37 or something like that so I know that have enough time because I wasn't sure what the process was going to be. I knew it couldn't be a lot just because it was basically a follow-up from the extraction to make sure things were going okay. I rolled into the Sprite entrance that it's kind of a secret side entrance but it's enough that I can get my chair in okay it always surprises it when I come in that way but they are all sort of sitting there waiting for me this morning kind of I think there are more on break than anything else. Anyway, I come in and they're all seem to be pretty happy to see me and not genuinely feel they are is that I'm staying there the new dentist guy, son of the regular guy who's my dentist, the one who pulled my tooth comes up and starts talking with me and we Chit Chat he looks at my mouth explains how it looks great ask how the sutures came out I gave all that that was okay then I asked about were they aware of the other or any other cavities that I had. And they said they said they weren't but they could do a full check up in depth so they haven't had been done in a couple years. And I think that's probably true. When I told them what I was doing as far as since I didn't have any molars to really grind food up with I was masticating things by the front teeth and they warned me that that would wear the front teeth out quite quickly. I assume that that's true I know I had thought about that more than once. And they just acted weird when I started asking about the process of implants versus retainers and stuff like that. I could probably do a retainer but I'm not too sure about my hand function and being able to really work something like that and I don't know if I'd want to dump money into something like that without knowing. Same as true I guess to a certain degree regarding the cost of implants. I spoke with one of the ladies there and they're talking about about $4,000 and implant! There's no way I got to do that on a cash basis I would have to do something like that over time but even at $100 a month that would be like 40 months but just like almost 4 years. Well I suppose that would work if you're buying a car or something like that so I guess it can be done but I would have to have one or two I would think so that would even make it longer. They of course didn't know of any programs that might be out there that would assist on something like this. I doubt that there are any programs but I'd have to check it out. I know that there weren't any programs just for poor people that were basically young or had kids I'ma thinking I'd like to see if there's any kind of a program for seniors we're losing their teeth. I wonder if there might be something through the Labor Commission or through the senior services of the state of Utah to see if there's any kind of a system that set up to assist with dental care after the seventies. My cynical side will not be too surprised if there is not. I doubt if you cat or anything out wrong that line would have any assistance. Like I said I would be totally surprised if I were to run across anything but I'm going to have to do something. But still the feeling that permeated the dentist office this morning it's kind of a shock after we seem to be getting along so well it's not like they turned on me or anything it's just I had a real strong feeling that they weren't too excited to visit with me about possible options for implants. As well if I could do dentures and I don't want to do dentures just because finger dexterity that I have is limited and maybe that's what I want it to be because I don't want them but we shall see as they always say
