Awake and up all night

Evening Shims, and never mind enough about you as you're part of the poorly group too, and especially with the dentist on the horizon.

Now I don't know whether this will quell your wobbles, but OH had dental treatment at Leeds Dental Institute by a fully qualified dentist and a student one, teetering on the brink of her finals. The student pulled 2 of his top gnashers so he's now a gappy, but she had the added pressure that he could be susceptible to ORN after RT to his chops area. A risk that had to be taken but she did sterling work, urged on by myself to 'give it some welly' when she was struggling with the pliers. We were warned of potential heavy gum bleeding but it wouldn't have filled a gnat's thimble with the few drops on offer.

Not sure if I've made you feel worse now hon, but if you can face a dog's fart you can tackle anything as they're the absolute pits!

Glad you managed some tucker, sweet cheeks xxx

Well done you.  Rest up and treat yourself to something nice. You deserve it. xxx

Well remembered Gill.Aunt F is my late mum’s youngest sister.She is 87 but looks and acts years younger.She never approved of mum either but mum didn’t care she was very eccentric.The visit didn’t quite go as planned but it was good to see her.The hospital doctor told me to take it easy so I’m having a quiet week.Love Jane xx

A parcel of good wishes from me as well. I am a fellow professional at dental phobia antics, graduating at eleven by fainting after a dental inspection at school. I unintentionally made the faint more dramatic by clouting my cheek (right, upper) as I collapsed at the classroom entrance on to a galvanised milk crate. By 13 I was also able to be violently sick in the dentists chair before fainting. My dental history advanced in a similar manner until my last ever visit in the mid 1980s. The only time I've been to a dentist without passing out was in 1969 at the RAF Hospital, Wegberg, Germany. I had three sittings for substantial filling work before we returned to the UK as I was off to college and the unpleasant medical/dental formalities were a condition of their acceptance. I thought all I needed was a fistful of qualifications. I hope that the hospital environment also gives your consciousness a boost. Tomorrow will pass. Hang on to that if nothing else works .  Ray  xxx

Now come here you! Err look this way! Ok ... so there is a decided lack of frivolity at GillH central.

Has this been heavily financed by Her Who Can't Be Tolerated?

When does OH get to go this new clinic?

Cheers

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling great Jane.  Hope you feel better soon. Sending hugs xxx

Best of luck tomorrow ShimmeringUnicorn.

Thanks Daisy,Hopefully I can get sorted soon.xx

Jane, could Aunt F send me a dose of what she's taking? She's got almost 20 years on me but I actually look 87! I must do as I keep getting referred to as OH's mum!!!  Good job I don't take offence - much!

Good advice from the doctor and you stick to it sweetheart xxx Get well soon hon xxx

Thanks so much. I know that even if they do something... it is just the start of lots of stuff.

But I actually get to open my mouth!

Cheers
