Dentists - round 3

November 4, 2009 10:30 PM

Lord o lord - back to the dentist this morning for my 3 appointment to try and get this tooth filled and sorted out so I can not spend at least one half of a day each week sat in a dentist chair staring at a light and cringing as a big stabby needle gets shoved into my gum line.

Things get off to a bad start when I have to sit around for 15 min for my appointment and then when I do finally get into the chair and have the dressing taken out of the tooth I though everything was on the up as the dentist tells me that the infection is clear and she can fill the tooth today. Ladedah, skip the part where she files out more of my root canal and get to where I'm sat being x-rayed for the 3rd time. Only I appears I got zapped for nothing as the x-ray didn't develop properly and there wasn't enough time to do another one, so guess what. I got x-rayed again, my tooth got dressed again and I was told to come back on Friday because obviously I have very little to do with any of the other days of the week.

I suppose on the plus side I am very much making the most of my £46.50 that I'm paying for the entire course of treatment.

Back home and after some work I then set about getting guest bedroom number 2 fixed up for our visitors who arrive on Friday morning. Phil helps out as his train set needs to be dismantled and after some hard graft the room looks reasonable. I will however have to go and get some single duvet covers etc as it appears I don't have any, which is shocking as my airing cupboard is bursting as the seams with linen of one sort or the other.
