Braces for adults, not, and major surgery, not yet?

Are euphemisms for medical procedures common in the land of delicacy of speech?
I seem to be dealing with people who either are embarrassed with normal aging procedures or are not ready for primetime explanations?
Take Hubby, now I do have his permission to discus what’s what with his surgical teeth procedures, finally!
He is getting dentures, a long time coming, his teeth have been bad for years and while still on a dental plan he had many bottom ones extracted but the bottom insert never fit properly, even with him going back to the dentist several times at that time, and so in the last few years he chose not to wear it…consequently his other teeth also took a turn for the worse, and he lost his smile, so sad… I wanted it back!
Financially, without any dental insurance, you see Medicare does not pay for this, and so we went the save up for it route and to finance the remainder in that no interest account that I have had to use for my emergency oral surgery, and also my cataract surgery, GE Care Credit. Mine were all done the beginning of this month and so with a bit saved and Hubby’s smile diminishing so much more, last week we started the whole shebang for him to get back those pearly whites, okay artificial ones but cosmetically enhanced, so trendy, hmm?
But aside for this being a big step for anyone at any age causing him a bit of anxiety, his sense of humor kicked in and tickled the dental tech and dentist as well, when they asked why he was there, he responded, “To get braces.” And they both laughed!
I would have told you all sooner, but I was asked not to say anything and I respected his privacy! But due to his cute joke about the braces we both decided that we should allow this to come out. I am more than sure many who read this also have them!

Now, dear sweet unselfish, loving and generous married mom (ten years ago I would not have needed to say that) of four, granny to eight, ye ole toddler-hood chum, biopsy went well, but they will not have the results until next week…huh?
The way her brother was talking I thought they were doing major surgery now that was touch and go due to its location, and to be honest I hope that she doesn’t need any of that and all is benign… but I was very worried.
Geez, I have had more than a half dozen biopsies, four breast (3 surgical and one needle), one throat, and one face a nasty lump (cheek) and one taken during a colonoscopy and all had to be waited for, for those results and Gosh that was hellish to do, and thankfully mine were all benign, and I was embarrassingly a smoker for over forty years with a family history of cancer all over the place!
I wish my ole pal well who was not a smoker, but scaring people who don’t need more worries is not right, that is until there is a reason to, which I pray never ever!
I will always pray for friends undergoing major miseries in their lives and hope that they will recover and all will turn out well for them and theirs when or if it turns into something more horrible I will pray harder… but we have to know what’s what, before that horror invades our system of total realization and compassion…otherwise it is wasteful energy that we can spend elsewhere where it is really needed. Does that sound odd to you?
I still would like to let all the people I know that I love you and will always worry about you, if necessary, but if all is well or in flux, than I will wait to know what to do, okay?
Actually, worrying is not good ever.
And that is why I will definitely only become concerned when I know the facts.

Bringing us back to Hubby and why it took nearly six years for this tooth thingy to happen, me.
No insurance, and me not qualifying for many programs since we fell between the cracks and we ended up paying off quite a few things for me monthly; I almost goofed up this latest chance for Hubby with again my need for medical intervention. The blood work appears to be covered this time but not those ultrasounds and I did price them out and I will be able to have one of them next month probably the carotid artery ones since those are more serious for out of pocket expense and the other , stomach after, I hope…
Sure I will, no worry be happy!

Listen peeps if I offended anyone with my unusual reasoning than I am very sorry, and please allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?

PS bad teeth have been linked to heart disease and other major illnesses, so be sure to take care of them before they have to come out at night, okay?
