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].

You have my sympathies. There is nothing worse than PAIN especially at night when you're trying to sleep and all you can think about is the PAIN. I hope you get the emergency appointment and in the meantime have some *Hugs*.

Oh shit! Fingers crossed for the emergency appointment

Thanks for the good wishes. I was lucky in that there was a cancellation first thing in the morning, and by half past nine I was being repaired. Unfortunately it must have cumulatively become too much for me because soon after getting home I had to take about 3 hours break - so much for catching up with the work - but at least now I feel fine and clear-headed, even a tiny bit optimistic. Daunted by the number of urgent tasks, but that is how it goes sometimes
