Friday

A wet walk to the dentist this afternoon.

Turns out 3/4 of a tooth is decayed and needs root canal treatment.

During the time she was looking at it , I was getting more anxious. She stopped to tell me what she was going to do and I started to struggle to breathe. After having a panic attack and having some water she persuaded me to get back up on the chair.
She gave me a local anaesthetic, drilled a hole in my tooth and put antibiotics in. The noise of the drill , the sight of the implements coming towards me and the pressure was horrible. Apparently that will help until I can go back for the treatment.

6hrs later, I still can't feel the side of my face and it's just taken 20mins to eat a bowl of pasta.
