I can make that drive. I'm sure you take cash? Can I bring the x-rays I paid for already from the quack I paid 180.00 too just a week ago?

yes , those are current x-rays . Are they film x-rays or digital ? In either case , the dentist will forward them to me . But you must tell them to mail the x-rays to me . I can't do it . The x-rays by law belong to the dentist but he must forward a duplicate at your request . It is lawful for him to charge a duplicating fee , around $30-45 . I don't charge . What I am concerned about is whether I can do the extraction or an oral surgeon . Depends on the length and shape of the roots , if its weakened from decay , etc . I'll do it for less than I charge . It would be fun to meet and talk about fishing . Call me at the office Tuesday if you can ...713 -961-9894 and we can discuss it . Tell my office manager , Debbie , that you are a fishing friend and we talked and have her get me . The office will be closed after Tuesday until Monday . I just want to make sure you have nothing unusual going on before you make the drive .

That's about as nice as I could ever expect from someone. I appreciate your wanting to help me with info about transference of x-rays and other criteria. Think I'm OK with the wisdom tooth but need a cap replaced and we can talk price and scheduling when we go fishing. Thanks, Plugger

If you come to the office for the extraction , I can check the crown and everything else . So , are you going to call today ?

After many years on the island, I'm moving to Texas city within the next week or ten days. It's going to take me that long as my girlfriend likes to point and give orders so it's priority both hands on deck until it gets done. Probably mid-Dec. I'll pm you.

Damn, moving or going to the dentist!! What a choice to make!! We need some Toothache Tree bark which theres plenty around here for you to chew on, some peyote near a caliche pit,(somewhere), good shot of Old Crow, and a young ladys hand to hold on to, and I have the Kleins or 420's to yank them babies out. But if you have a tendency to bite I'll step the channel locks up to 440's.
When you ready!!

[H.Maier]

Lol. I think I'll take my chances with plugger.

[mgstei1]

I'll help you move also, but I want your GF's job. I'm old with a bad back and a terrible work ethic. I can point with the best of them.
Take care of those teeth! And if you need help I'll do what I can.

[H.Maier]

Thanks, bro.

Uh-oh , staying together ? Did you let her know , " by the way , I'll be fishing every Friday or Saturday ' ?
