On Monday my 19 year old daughter mentioned her jaw had felt like it was catching, kind of sticking in place a couple times during the day. I checked her over and found no swelling or anything odd. I told her to quit distending her jaw when she eats, (you have never seen her eat, I call her Gator), and we just laughed it off. On Tuesday afternoon she sent me a message from her work that her jaw had locked shut and she couldn't open it. Five minutes later she sent another message that it had unlocked and was better. I started to make plans to get her into the Doc the next day. I'm thinking signs of a Tentanus infection, lock jaw, at this point. Not cool. At ten last night she sent another message that it had locked again and she hurt real bad and she could feel her teeth grinding. I geared up and headed out to where she worked. When I got there she looked like a pissed off badger. Cute, but not funny. Told her to grab her stuff and we where headed to the emergency room. Her boss rolled in and told me she still had a couple hours left on her shift. My question to him was "do you want to go with us, or do you want to get out my way?" He backed off. I'll deal with that twit later. BUT......good news was it was not Tenanus. It was something I'd never heard of. This TMJ Syndrome. Problem where the joints on the jaw bone attaches to the skull, either caused by degeneration of the joints, not likely in a 19 year old, or from a past injury. Well we pretty much nailed down what that injury was. I've done my research and we are dealing with the care of it now. My question is has anyone dealt with this syndrome over a period of time and what might we expect? Just curious. Mike

Just got in from the Moose Jaw SK, M and E and had a great day, the weather held out and threatened to rain once or twice, but not much materialized. It was great meeting old friends and new and I would like to thank everyone for coming out and making it a great time. We had Alberta Clipper from Medicine Hat AB, Billm30 and Shirley from Calgary AB, Rocket from Wainwright AB, Big Bob from Gravelbourg SK, BJB from Swift Current SK, and me, friesman from Regina SK. We met at Boston Pizza for a quick lunch and coffee and then headed out to Pete (Tessa2c) and Hazels place at Herbert SK. about an hour and 20 minute ride west from Moose Jaw. (there wasnt many turns, but it was a good ride...lol!) Pete seems to be doing very well, and they treated us to some great hospitality and great eats! mmmmm barbeque sausage and ribs...mmmmm and all the trimmings till we couldnt get back on our bikes. Thanks to Hazel and Pete for all the wonderful hospitality and thanks for letting us take over your home. Its so good to see you guys.

My wife works at a local hospital. Told me this story friday. Man is in barber shop geting his hair cut. A beautiful girl comes in and he says " I could kill myself for you", pulls out a pistol, drops the clip and put the gun under his jaw and pulls the trigger. He forgot there was a round in the gun. Bullet went through his jaw into his head and through the barbers hand. He really impressed her!! Please if you attempt to impress anyone, TAKE THE ROUND OUT OF THE GUN!!! tew47

Time to take a road trip today to Moose Jaw Sk. its about an hours drive to the west of my home and a nice little oasis in the middle of the prairie. Please excuse the shots, I am not a phtographer but I thought people may want an idea of what is in Moose Jaw if they are going to make the trip. Today was a gorgeous day, especially since its in the middle the first long weekend of the summer. We are having a very late spring as its been very cool and very dry. Usually the Wakamow Valley is lush and green by this time of year. Click here to view the pics, http://picasaweb.google.ca/friesman1/MooseJawMay18_08 Brian:cool10:
