May I offer you some comfort?

First, I believe your story.

Second, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Third, on a practical level, are you able to take up yoga, Pilates, or meditation where you are? If not please walk in the great outdoors instead of your room. Walking can be a good healing activity. Release your pain.

Fourth, I understand dental work is expensive in the US, but I also know there are free dental clinic run by charity. Fixing your teeth will be a start. Liberate with body, liberate your soul.

You got this.
