Joey had a horror of the dentist...

[athersgeo]

Well, I'm at home today. I had a tooth yanked yesterday and since I am incredibly bad with all things dental (to say nothing of having the gag reflex from hell), I had it out under sedation. I was at home yesterday, too - but I spent most of the day passed out or incoherent, hence no update.

On the foot front, my left foot has now just about assumed normal proportions (though hiking round Cambridge on Saturday didn't improve it!). I'm still not sure what in the heck bit me, but given my foot and ankle were swollen for nearly two weeks, I think I should take care to avoid it, whatever it was!

I was going to do the meme about which members of my friends list I've met in real life or spoken to on the phone (or just chatted to online) - but having just looked at my friends list, it would just be a mass of bold, seeing as I've met virtually everyone!

I guess, seeing as I'm at home, I ought to do some writing. I've got a couple of posts that are almost ready.

I think first, though, I need to hit the shower then hit Tesco. Though I can have chewy stuff now (I was on soup all day yesterday [when I was conscious, at any rate!]), I've got to be mighty careful how I chew, so I think a quick stock up on things like ravioli's a good bet. Oh, and diet coke. I've got a massive diet coke craving. Possibly as a result of the link germankitty sent me - now that's what I'd call a Diet Coke Break...

Oh you poor thing! *hugs*

*hugs back* It could have been worse - I could have been conscious for the extraction. *shudders* Done that once before. Never, EVER again.

LOL! Yes, maybe it's better to be unconscious...

Eek! Dentist is NOT fun.

At least the ankle is better though!

Dentists don't tend to be fun - but this trip was OK. Largely because one little prick and I was out like a light - so no evil and nightmarish memories of inhuman looking metal instruments being jammed into my mouth!

Aaaah, good point! I've never been put under at the dentist, so I wouldn't know. Last time I went and had a filling the dentish managed to give me a huge cut down the side of my gum which turned into an ulcer. Yuck.

(((((much hugs))))) dentists are eebil!

*hugs back* Dentists are only evil if you're awake to know what they're doing. As it was, one little prick and I was out like a light and I have no memory of what happened next. Yay.

*huggels carefully* Dentist are sadists! *remembers when self got all four wisdom teeth at once removed* I really know how you feel. I hope you didn't react to the sedation the way I did then...

Hey, don't blame me for your coke habit! *grins*

More *huggles* on the dentist thing, though.

*is uncomfortably reminded that I'd better make an appointment myself soon -- for two teeth to be capped [eek!], then braces. At my age, too. Yuck.*

A few more *huggles* for good measure re the dentist!

You haven't met me yet - but you will next weekend - yay!
