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 ???

Update

Well lets see what has happened since I last updated in march. I finally got to go to NYC and visit my sister and it was a wonderful trip, a trip of a lifetime to be completely honest. I got to see 2 broadway shows, went backstage after one of them. Got to see my cousins and visit with my sister which is something that I rarely get to do. I mean as we were growing up my sister and I were never really that close, and it wasn't till I think we both graduated high school and moved out and into new directions in our lives that our friendship took a new direction as well . I mean we have always been close with one another (goes with being twins) but yet, I really think as we have grown and matured, our friendship as gotten much stronger which is a very wonderful thing for me, because she is the best big (lil since she is only 4'11") sister in the world. During my visit we had so many times where we would just sit and talk with one another, just talk about our lives, the d...

How 14 years forging relationships in MLB should help Cora in the first year as Red Sox Manager

 photo credit: The Mass Media How 14 years forging relationships in MLB should help Cora in the first year as Red Sox Manager When the Red Sox hired Alex Cora as their new manager at the end of October, there were many stand out characteristics that the new manager had including his great communication style. But it was his relationships with the players that he was able to form with them that set him apart from the other candidates for the job. Cora who spent 14 years in MLB including 4 with the Red Sox, was able to relate and form relationships with rookies including in 2007 with then-rookie Dustin Pedroia, as well as use his experience to relate to the veteran player like Manny Ramirez.   Cora said this at his introductory press conference, about how he views inter-personal relationships with his players, " But you’ve got to care about each other. That’s the most important thing. They’re human beings, man, and you’ve got to talk to them. You’ve got to see ho...

Its Kinda a Funny Story

I first watched this movie a week after my own attempt at ending my life, and it brought alot of what was going on in my life at the time to light and made me actually slowly appreciate the small things in life that I do have. I have a great family, wonderful supportive friends, who care about and maybe even like me in return. After a friend suggested I rent a movie, I went out and rented this movie again and once again it reminded me how precious life is and how I do have a lot going for me even though sometime I may feel like I don't have a lot going and that my life is in upheaval, that I know that things have a way of working out and that I just need to balance myself between pushing myself to go after what I want and to be patient and letting things come to me.
