more medical headaches

So earlier this summer I was supposed to get a dental procedure done to recorrect my smile which as it stems right now includes a gap where due to my cleft lip and palate a tooth never grew in. Well I had been meeting with my dentist and the surgereon who was going to be performing the procedures.  The procedure included the removal of my front 4 teeth then inserting a temporary tendure into the gap until my gums and mouth had healed the removing the denture and putting 4 new replacement teeth into those places.
  Well we had been getting ready for that procedure but it had to be put on hold due to the inability of my family to be able to pay the financial end of it.  So with my ability to stay on my parents policy up when I turn 25 in october I filled out and submitted forms for vermont medicaid  and was accepted so I know am still covered till my birthday if not longer due to the possibility of having to have to get a insulin pump prescribed to me. 
 However, I am not sure if either the dentist that I have been seeing for mostly my entire life will accept vt medicaid or even if the surgeon will accept it. Then the other issue is if they don't could there be a dentist that does or a surgeon that will.  Plus financially how would I be able to pay for it with my dental plan currently not allowing a lot of money for dental work could there be a coorperation that i could contact that might be willing to lend me the money to make up the difference? ( could that be project smile which does a lot of work with kids/maybe adults who were born with cleft lip/palates which I was born with and have had multiple procedures on) could they or would they consider being willing to help?
 All I know is that I have a lot of health issues that are starting to creep up and I need to "put the hammer down" and try and prevent as much future damage as I can) but I cant do it alone I just dont know what to do ???

looking back on a year gone past

So lets see whats been up with me .. well as another holiday season draws closer to an end, I am looking back on the year that was. It started out with me loosing a job coincidentally on new years eve day of 2009 and then a month later I began working as free lance videographer which I still do to this very day. In April I resumed my umpiring for a 7th year in a row and also had a wonderful and exciting trip to visit my sister in new york city. I continued umpiring till mid july when I was part of my first theatrical production in over a year. I loved being part of the cast of 42nd St and also while doing that became part of another cast, this one for Barber of Seville. Both shows brought a new widening of my horizons and brought new friends and oppertunities into my life In October I had my 26th birthday and it was another wonderful time.. In November I took myself to see my first concert in over 5 years when Rockapella came to town. I also celebrated the one year anniversary of ...

Why Kevin Youkillis is the perfect blueprint for how Red Sox should handle Rafael Devers

photo credit: Cincinnati Enquier^.com Kevin Youkilis over 8.5 years with the Red Sox provided grit, determination, ^ a power-bat. Yet it was his defensive versatility that let the Red Sox get better. When the Red Sox drafted Kevin Youkilis out of the University of Cincinnati where he put together a .410/.549/.714/1.263 offensive stat line. Yet it was the fact that Youkilis also led the nation with 59 walks compared to just striking out just 21 times, that attracted then-GM Theo Epstein to draft the young third baseman in the 8th round of the 2001 draft. Youkilis would spend three seasons in the minors before reaching the M ajors during the 2004 season, where he would play a minor role that season during the team's championship run, appearing in 72 games that year , hitting .260 with 7 home-^runs driving in 35. Yet between 2007 and 2011 is when Youkilis would truly prove to be one of the best players in the game.  Over that five years, Youkilis would average 1...

Soo as we start the beginning of week #3 I have come to the realization that as much as I want to be like all the other guys who are here umpiring, I need to be able to listen to my body and adjust certain things to make it possible to actually umpire correctly.  My knee is still in one place the swelling has continued to go down but the soreness is still there. Hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday I can slowly start ramping it up again and won't have lost too much time.
