To all my friends here on JoeDios, sorry I have not responded to any of your pictures lately. I had to go to the hospital a couple of weeks back. I am on some serious pain meds, so I hope this comes out OK, my head has been in a fog. I have had several teeth come loose over the last few months. I got a infection in the bones of my jaw somehow and it moved into my sinus cavity. I was in such pain I could not get out of bed for 2 days. I was taking BC powders, I took a 50 pack of them in 48 hours and got asprin poisoning on top of all this. I lost my hearing in both ears, my wife took me to the emergency room. Come to find out the bones in my upper & lower jaws have decinigrated and the only thing holding in my teeth are my gums. I am going to have to have 2 surgeries and will loose all of my teeth. I am only 40 and will have to wear dentures. I am self employed and have no insurance on top of all this, and have to pay before any work will be done. Needless to say this is putting a hurting on my family. I have been looking at all of the fine picures posted over the last couple of weeks and will respond to them when I am able to concentrate better. I am also looking forward to getting back & taking some of my own pics & posting them. I just have not been up to it here lately. I just wanted to say thanks to all of my friends here & I have not forgotten you. Dave
