D-Day
Tooth Extraction – Take 2.
Or not, as the case may be…
Turns out that the infection is still lurking, so all thoughts of removing the root today were immediately abandoned. Onto Plan B which involves me taking yet another course of antibiotics but timed so that the course is almost complete by my next appointment (October 9th). The hope is that the little b****r will have been sufficiently nuked at that point that the local anaesthetic will actually work.
Yes, folks. This saga just runs and runs…
In the meantime, I’m currently trying to avoid saying any word that begins with ‘f’ (and that sure cuts into my stress relief strategies) as the pronunciation of ‘f’ seems to be inexorably linked with the presence of two front teeth. Smiling broadly is also a “No-no” along with laughing unless the mouth is covered. On the plus side, I do currently have a whistle that would put a navvy to shame…
An Unhappy Bunny With A Sore Mouth
Went to get the tooth remnant out today. Slight problem. Unbeknownst to everyone, there was an infection around the root which stopped the local working right where it was really needed. Unfortunately, that wasn’t obvious until the dentist tried to take the tooth out. Suffice to say that I still have said tooth (albeit in a slightly different position now) and I’m on antibiotics for a week. Spent most of today zonked out on painkillers and homoeopathy for shock. 🙁
Next attempt: September 25th
