Veterans Deserve Better… but not according to McConnell…

My jaw is displaced after Don knocked me across the room on Okinawa… Naha AFB circa 1971
1977 Basic Training and look at my smile compared to the one above from 1971…

If you look at the pictures you can tell, something is off big time and try and get the military dentist to understand that, let alone civilian dentist over the last 5 decades leads me into the crisis I am having now…

1994 Homer and I … Notice anything???

I had a wonderful dentist in Okanogan… He was the best and I spent over $15,000 out of pocket using his office… Those pretty bridges were done before 2002…

I told the El Paso female dentist in 2011 that the cement holding those appliances in place was failing and she goes and grabs them and no movement, but I could hear the cracking of the cement in my ears… Yes, you can hear what others can not…

We get to Hawaii in 2016 and I tell the dentist the VA sends me too that the cement is failing and he does same thing and yep, I hear it, but he doesn’t… No movement…

By 2018, those teeth that were left, were breaking off at the root, because, yep, no sealant was left to protect the root… No amount of flossing or brushing would have stopped the damage…

By the time we left Hawaii I had botched dental implants in the maxillary, which had to be removed in 2021 and by May of 2022 I had a full maxillary denture that cost me out of pocket over $5,000… Spokane VA is a total joke on health care and dental care is gas lighted on a massive scale…

Now fast forward to 2026 and the Biloxi VA makes me a mandibal partial… and I wasn’t happy with it when I got it last year, why???

Occlusion…

Now the first of the month I saw the VA dental clinic and asked for a referral to a oral surgeon and I have been working on how to approach what I am now living with…

PAIN, caused by the dental clinic at Biloxi VA, technician who made my partial and the full denture made by a specialist in Spokane…

I can’t open my jaw very wide and if I yawn and don’t think about it, I dislocate my jaw every time I yawn and have to readjust my jaw, in order to close it without it locking up…

I put my appliances in this morning and I have instant pain in the left TMJ and the right mandibul… Why???

Occlusion!!!!

I got a letter from the VA saying they referred me to a surgeon, dated the 18th… tomorrow is the 28th and I have had no phone call yet and no clue when the clinic will call me…

To fix, what the Military and the VA did to my mouth would cost me in excess of $20,000….

I did all the right things taking care of my mouth, and the health care the VA gave me did everything they could to insure I end up in full dentures and unable to eat, talk or exist without chronic pain caused by them…

This is the health care veterans get, especially women… I know many male veterans who got impants done, by a professional qualified to do them…

So far the goverment who says I am a priority 1 disabled veteran has cost me in excess of $50,000 in medical and dental care…

But Mitch, a dead man walking alongside dead man Trump, gets the best of care on our dime…

I remember…

● About Me

I am Maggi, given that name on Okinawa during the Vietnam war by a group of Marines in transit at Naha AFB… At 17 years old I didn’t know I was missing memory… I had lost the first 17 years of life and was about to embark on a journey of intrigue, murder, rape, military coverup and live a life, most only dream about… Will I ever remember my youth or will I always walk in shadow not knowing who I was…

This is my story of survival…
