Wednesday… Extracting the…
Apr 30th 2008PeterGetting My Life Back!
…tooth! Cast you mind back Dear Reader, to a post I made last August I said that I had broken a tooth and had to have a bit of emergency treatment to smooth off the edges (it had been root filled on an earlier occasion). My dentist was reluctant to remove it, given my medical history, but referred me to Guys, who did nothing, and finally to the local hospital (The QA in Portsmouth) who saw me about 6 weeks ago. Today the offending stump was finally removed!
I have to say I am a total wuss when it comes to dentistry, but in this case the anticipation was worse than the reality! The dental surgeon was outstanding. Having numbed me up (the most painful bit) he remarked that he was just going to put a bit of pressure on it to ensure the anaesthetic was working – and 20 seconds later – it was done! The anaesthetic has worn off now, but apart from a little soreness, it is pain free!
Vicki brought Olivia over yesterday. Now ‘toddling’ with confidence, she was fascinated by the fridge magnets, but has yet to understand the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous materials, and looked most perplexed when the magnets wouldn’t stick to the wooden cupboard doors! Her vocabulary is developing too, with quite a repertoire of sounds, a few of which resemble english! She is a very happy and ‘chuckley’ little girl!
Finally, great news on the health front from Simon, who had the results of his PET scan of 10 days ago. It was all clear, and in his own words “Phew”! Brilliant news and on that note…
Onwards and Upwards!
