Funding the Retirement of a Dentist

On a monthly basis (occasionally twice monthly), since last June, I have been lining the pockets of my dentist. Seems to be the season, Melody and Rhubarb have both posted about the dentist this week.

Remember the tooth that narrowly missed out on a root canal, here and here? Well it got better for short bursts of time before annoying agonising me again. It got refilled and unfilled four times.

Now it is cactus, and requires a root canal. It's excrutiating and my face is swollen. It hurts to even talk (if anyone wants to get a word in todays the day)!

I am on antibiotics with which I am not supposed to drink alcohol. I explained that would be an impossibility with my hosting a party on Saturday and all. So I need to take antibiotics from today and then get the roots whipped out on Friday, stop taking the antibiotics and just hope they won't make me sick with alcohol on Saturday!

Oh Joy!!!

Ouch! You poor thing! And with the big shindig coming up on Sat. :( Hope the antibiotic plan works and you are allowed to "numb" the pain at the party. xoxo

Fe - Thanks for your sympathy. Tooth pain is the pits!

Jeanie - Darnicles!!! What a great word :)

Trish - Boo doesn't like the quiet! Lucky two doses of antibiotics and regular Nurofen and Panadol have dulled the pain and allowed for comfortable talking ;)

Guera - Hopefully after the roots are removed on Friday, I will be pain free on Saturday!
