We've been very short on people, so I was working overtime and mis-stepped on a ladder and fell. I shattered a bunch of teeth and had them all pulled today. I am in severe pain and feel absolutely terrible from all the blood I lost and swallowed.
I hate not working and I am supposed to stay at home two weeks until the bone grafts for my jaw start to heal.
I was blessed with work while many were laid off and now this.
I feel like a failure, it's such a newbie kind of accident.
God Bless,
Roof Korean
Yup, I'd only ever take painkillers if it was really unbearable. If it was uncomfortable, I'd just endure it.
I have been mocked over the years for this, but now I am blessed with a higher pain threshold.
I just read Dopesick, a book about addiction and it’s a real danger. Many people started with legit prescriptions.
Thank you. I'm going to use this as a new start. I haven't been as dutiful to my parents as I should have.
When did they get so old?
Time flies by too quickly ㅠㅠ
Ouch. I hope you heal quickly. Rest and do what your dentist says.
Prayers to you. Just focus on healing. No negative thoughts, they won’t help!

So true. Teeth hit the floor....
Sounds awful, so sorry. =(
Don't be down on yourself, it was an accident. Stay home, heal fully and go back full force.
I'd second VoxVulgaris' comment and recommend you read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. It's a relatively short work from a man with perceptive insight and you've got some time on your hands! God Bless!
Heavenly Father, send healing to RK that his mouth heal fast & the grafts take. Bless him & his family today & always.
God bless you Roof Korean.
Sucks man. I had a soul-crushing ladder fall in the rain when the ladder fell out from under me, I landed on it, and smashed some ribs. Getting your ass handed to you by a ladder one time is part of working in the trades, so consider it earning your stripes. You probably won't let that kind of thing happen to you again.
Prayers are with you brother
Be well and hang in there, pede!
Praying for you. I'm going through my own trials myself right now, though not health related. Remember that while life is often difficult and sometimes painful, God always has us in His hands, and the hardest times are often our best teachers as He intends.
Also, on the off chance you're in Los Angeles, I know a great dentist if you need one.
I am using it to refocus on life. I haven't been as responsible to my parents as I should have.
Good for you. You've actually been in my thoughts. There are people doing painting work on ladders over here, and it makes me wonder how you're doing.
God always gives us what we need, and thankfully not what we may shortsightedly want.
Heal up, friend.
Don’t smoke, use straws, spit or anything else that requires suction. Don’t dwell on it, and it’ll be over before you know it. Look at small milestones, not thefull two weeks. In a few days, it will be the weekend. Only a couple of days after that, it will have been one week, and you’ll be halfway there, etc.
I'm so sorry man, that sounds horrible. I'm praying for you.
Godspeed, jaw injuries heal quickly, pain and discomfort will subside in a matter of a few days. You’ll be back to work soon.
Eat protien, helps you heal faster. Also multi vitamins.
Doing just that. Eating protein, taking zinc and b, turmeric. Going to try and cut some weight.

Pray for others in your position. It always seems like when we pray for others going through the same thing, the blessings come faster and are more plentiful... maybe it has something to do with that whole, "When 2 or more are gathered in my name" kind of thing.
That's tough, 'pede. Hang in there man. Just keep that work ethic and you'll be back on your feet in no time.
Minor setback for a major comeback.
Now get up you son of bitch! Keep fighting!

I didn't hear no bell!
I understand the feeling but just wanted to say that you’re not a failure. Praying for peace for you, relief from pain, and a quick recovery.
So sorry to hear this happened. I am praying for you, for a speedy recovery, and for peace in your heart. We don’t always know why things happen to us, but we do know that God is still in charge and He wants only the best for you and your future.
God bless Roof Korean. Keep that store safe from the rioters.
Awwww,,,, you'll be great. Your body will heal. You're not a failure. Accidents happen all the time.
Look for the blessing in this right now. I guarantee 5 years from now you'll look back on this and be able to see how it changed your life for the better somehow.
Everything happens for a reason, and we get to decide the reason.
Praying now....
You’ll get through this, and each day will become easier than the previous.
Prayers for a quick recovery!
Sorry. We all make mistakes. Heal up and dont beat yourself up mentally
Sounds terrible; I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you. I'll be praying for you!
That sounds so painful. Hope you feel better and heal fast.
Praying for you friend. God bless you and heal you.
Don't get too down. Rest up and recover, everything will be fine.
Don't be like Pelosi. Get some dental implants so they'll never slip. Hang in there!
To a speedy recovery homie
Thanks.
🙏
Jesus Christ, dude.
Heal.
Stay strong pede
Push through it dude. Been there. Can take a few months but trust me you have a new appreciation of ladder safety and proper setup. Horrible it was your teeth. Get well soon.
Yeah now you can tell those young bucks to watch their ass on the ladder with authority.
Be careful everyone. Accidents (especially the bad ones) always happen faster than we expect.
I don't know about authority. More about the cautionary tale of pain and having had to patch up or take someone to the hospital a number of times.
Good luck and a speedy recovery!
Asprin, rest, vitamin C, and protein are the best things you can do right now. Stay strong mentally and you'll be back physically in no time. Good luck.

Lost a couple teeth in my time; on the bright side after this you'll be able to bite right into ice cream! Just sent prayers your way; relax and get better soon!
Tooth pain sucks. But it will get better. Everyday will be better. Don’t get hooked on chinese pain killers. 4 ibuprofen will get a lot done.
Prayers to you pede. What doesnt kill us only makes us stronger.
Good luck and be well soon! <3 <3 <3
Praying for you brother
