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].
