In retrospect, I think back on a kind elderly white woman I had met while homeless. She had lost her ID and needed assistance cashing her check. She also needed dental assistance, for she had half a smile. All I could do was wonder at the time. Now I reflect on my own dental delays and other mishaps that have put me in need of my own ID renewal, retrieval, and replacements of cards through the faulty trap system we live in.
I kept my SSI payments on my cards to prevent any waylay of my frequent moves and snail mail delay. Yeah, I knew it was her check because she got it from her mail at Friendship Place. Believe it or not, they used to have a mail issue themselves, which Charley, a handyman, took notice of. He demonstrated how one could reach their arm in the door mail slot and open the door knob from the inside out. Needless to say, a new door design was ordered and installed immediately.
So, due to all of my procedural delays at the student dentist, I’m not getting my six month internal cleanings, and I have Medicaid! Go figure. I was getting the same run around from the Smile Dental chain. I was initially upset when my previous dentist gave me a crown, but I haven’t had any issues with it since. Unlike the rest of my uncapped teeth. So, go figure! The vision just kind of fell into place.
Try harder! Don’t get lost in the cracks! Stay just as keen, aware, and alert! Don’t get jilted, jaded, nor duped!
