Tooth Hurty

Frank says I like a challenge, so because the leg was going well, I thought what else can I have? Hence the title this week. On Sunday I developed an abscess on one of my back molars, the dentist was shut, I didn't know what antibiotics would be allowed on the trial and we had to get to London. So I took a lot of painkillers and off we went.

On Monday I went into hospital and they gave me some antibiotics and said they would get a dentist to have a look. After a few hours they came back and said the dentist had retired and not been replaced, what a larf! This was my visit to stay in, so I had lots of bloods taken and due to a delay during the day my tablets had to be taken at 2.30am, before which I had to eat! Imagine you are woken in the dead of the night to try to digest a piece of toast with a sore tooth! Sounds horrendous, it was. In all I was woken 3 times during the night for various things, only to be told in the morning two of those tests had not been necessary. I smiled sweetly. Anyway I was let out on Tuesday morning and told to make an appointment with my dentist.

On Wednesday I went to the dentist and he removed two teeth to get rid of the infection. I managed to drive home OK but then I think it hit me, the injections wore off and it felt like I'd been socked in the mouth. I went to bed for the rest of the day and slept a lot of it.

I'm recovering now just in time for our next trip on Sunday. The good news is my leg continues to behave itself which after all is the most important thing and I can now look back at this week with a smile.

What next I wonder?
