Another Plea on Behalf of Arthur Silber
My god; I had no idea that Arthur Silber’s teeth had deteriorated to such an extent as this:
I indicated a while ago some aspects of being very poor. One other aspect is this: when you can’t afford to get any decent medical care for major health problems, you definitely can’t afford to go to the dentist, for years on end in my case. One result is that your teeth finally rot and begin to fall out — literally. For the past week, pieces of one rotten tooth have been falling out almost every time I eat. I eat very, very carefully now, mostly soft foods. The tooth doesn’t hurt, at least not yet. This is on top of two fillings that fell out several years ago, and that I can’t get fixed. One of the resulting holes gets infected every two months or so. When that happens, it lasts for about ten days. During the worst two or three days, the left side of my face swells up to the size of a small apple. I can barely open my mouth, so I usually just suck up soup or mashed potatoes until it passes.
And he also is only halfway there to the next rent payment as well as being in need of some computer fixing. Once again, I urge those who find Arthur to be a worthwhile person to consider donating towards his continued living.
See the post linked to under his name above for detail.
