The pain is dead. Long live the pain

We visited friends in Stony Stratford, in company with other friends from Surrey, had a great dinner and drank a toast to "The Professor".

The temporary dressing in the tooth (pending the full root filing) collapsed and IT HURTS again, (apart from the irritating gaping chasm). Maths doesn't quite have concepts to define how much I enjoy pain. Infinitesimals are along the right lines ... Nah, large negative numbers work.

So I will have a visit to the dentist Thursday if I am lucky enough to get an emergency appointment. After a setback in my work I had hoped for an early start and an uninterrupted day - some chance!

This evening, after a very sober Christmas I had a few glasses of wine, so shouldn't risk painkillers full of paracetamol, and ibuprofen doesn't seem to be doing much to help so far. [sigh].

Things getting better just now

Because of a cancellation I got an emergency dental appointment early in the morning, and after some downtime to get over the stress and lost sleep life seems much better. Of course my work is even more delayed, but if nothing else goes wrong it may still be possible to catch up ...
