I am suffering with toothache...
While away on holiday Sue lost a filling and as seems to be the way I can't let her suffer alone. In fact I must go one better.
Not long after we got back I started to notice a dull ache in my lower jaw at the back. Over the next few days it steadily got worse until I noticed a lump develop on the jaw-line. I thought it must be an abscess so decided to go to the dentist - unfortunately we didn't have one, so it took a couple more days before a got checked out.
Turns out that I have a cyst growing under my wisdom tooth and I need to have it and the tooth removed in an operation.
There is one thing I hate more than dentists and that is the hospital.
I have some antibiotics to take until I hear about a date at the hospital (thing is I have been told that I should not drink while taking these under any circumstances. Tomorrow we are having friends over for dinner - Oh! How Jamie & Sue laughed). I really don't feel like drink at the moment any way, as the pain is pretty bad (I don't have a high pain-threshold), I don't think I should be taking as many pain killers as I am. I am starting to rattle.
Woe is me!
