According to the instructions from the dentist, along with no alcohol or operating machinery including kettles, I must not sign any documents. Presumably in case I do something daft. So here I am doing something daft and writing a blog post!
The dentist managed to remove two teeth but refused to do the third, even though, under sedation I was urging him to continue. I was clearly distressed throughout. Afterwards he explained that sometimes people are like that. Some get fits of the giggles and some get something else which I can't remember, but others remain distressed despite the sedation supposedly calming one down.
It is some hours later and I have been bleeding quite profusely and have been in pain. A homeopathic remedy has helped with the bleeding and I've now had some lovely warm soup. I was hungrier than I expected to be, having eaten only a couple of pieces of toast this morning and no lunch. I've taken pain killers and shortly will return to relaxing with my first cup of tea suitably cooled down (thank you for the warning Ella!).
I feel awful but it had to be done. The dentist was saying that I should have the last one done under general anaesthetic but with over a year wait on the NHS this is ridiculous and the practice don't do general anaesthetic. I'd rather go through this again than have to wait years... so it will be something to discuss in future. I am certainly under the weather and not up to physically talking. Thanks for everyone's good wishes :-)

Last supper
Maybe not, but my last big meal before I present myself to the dentist tomorrow afternoon to have three back teeth removed. What a relief it will be as I have nurtured and looked after these broken teeth for so long it will be great when I can eventually eat again without discreetly unplugging my teeth.
We had buffalo sausages (from the Farmers' Market), sliced organic onions, luverly buttered mashed potatoes, garlic mushrooms and baked beans washed down with a gorgeous red (leftover from the other day). Scrummy.
This morning I see I've lost two pounds. Finally breaking the grip the ten stone mark has had for a couple of years. Until then, all my adult life I bounced between 8.5 and 9.5 stone. Except after the birth of my first when I dwindled down to seven stone something, even with my generous milk producing breasts, I was a mess with pointy bones sticking through. Not nice at all. Otherwise, I've never bothered about my weight and certainly never dieted as such. I believe in enjoying food and the more you enjoy it the less it weighs on you! My increase in weight I thought was maybe the thickening one gets with middle age but most likely due to my diet. Maybe the loss of weight is due to eating plenty more veggies and organic at that.
I shall be even lighter by the end of this week with less teeth in my head and not eating well after the op. But oh! those buffalo suasages were gorgeous. I look forward to the duck and plum sausages we've also got stashed away :-)

- Congrats on the two pounds! Nothing feels quite like stepping on the scale and seeing a loss.
And your meal sounds delicious.
- Annie said...
- Well done on the two pounds! Hope all goes well with the extractions. I had loads out as a kid, and remembered being terrified, but when I had a tooth out a few years back it was totally painless and very quick. Don't use straws to drink through afterwards though, as they can cause a dry socket which isn't very pleasant. *Hugs*
- Mama Mouse said...
- I had a dry socket once ... it hurt worse than the toothache before it.
Congrats on losing weight! The meal sounded oh so yummy!! Its a good thing its nearly dinner time 'cause now I don't think I could hold out too much longer!
- mrshellonheels said...
- Way to go Gran on the 2 pound loss..but honey I found it, if you want it back let me know ..heeheee.
I need to go to the dentist so bad, I have a broken tooth in the back and I have been putting off going. The last time I went to the dentist I hurt more afterwards then I did before I went in. I guess I will just continue to live on aspirin until it gets to the totally unbearable stage. ; ) Good luck to you..I will be thinking about you.
- Anji said...
- Good luck with the dentist. Your farmer's market sounds a wonderful place AND you've lost weight!
- ella m. said...
- Avoid drinking very hot things immediately afterward. My dentist did not tell me this and I was about to happily gulp down some coffee to satisfy my addiction. Bad idea. ouch.
Hope it goes quickly and hurts very little.
- jane said...
- you are most certainly enjoying your new found farmers market!
- Z said...
- Oh those duck and plum sausages sound divine. I'm envious.

Well I have some statistics for you:
There are 169 cubes in your drawing. There are 85 or 50.3% light yellow and 84 or 49.7% dark yellow ones.
Of all the dark yellow cubes there are only 4 (4.8%) that have a (green) cross in it. Of the light yellow cubes there are 17 (20.0%) with an orange cross, and 24 (28.2%) with a blue one. In total only 26.6% of all the cubes contain a cross.
So you know. - doris said...

Talkin' a'cha
For over ten minutes he stood there talking at me. One of those people who has a lot to say and instead of discussing, totally alienates you by telling you that black is black and white is white or vice versa and anything you might say is to be argued against. His body language leans into your comfort space and he is physically in your face.
This man is the soon-to-be ex of a new friend of mine and it is harder to think of two people more unalike. She brought me into their house as her friend, like a cat with a new toy but he has to pounce and drag her toy away from her. I was only dropping her and the kids off back home after a day round mine and she made me a cuppa in the dining room, but he has to insist on barging into the room and our conversation. Even though I had been polite and nice and had already given him some courtesy. Best of all, his opening line was "I'm starting a counselling course this week". Like a six year old proud of his new thing but this guy is in his sixties and under various court orders for his abusive behaviour to his wife and kids. And he is to be a counsellor because he feels he would be really good?!
In the end I drained my hot cuppa as fast as possible and made my exit. He was unbearably close to me as he thanked me and said he enjoyed the discussion. As his wife and I hugged goodbye on the doorstep he stood there leering in a lecherous way saying he had to keep an eye on us two. Completely revolting man who can't keep his mouth shut or have the grace to give his wife any space.

UGH! I cannot imagine how people like that THINK their behavior is FINE! Glad you got out of there in a HURRY!
- /T/ said...

What a weirdo. I hope for her he will be a really-soon-to-be ex. I hope it won't interfere your friendship with her.
- Le laquet said...
-
"I'm starting a counselling course this week" - yet under court orders for his abusive behaviour to his wife and kids. Jeez people amaze me sometimes! It's all me, me, me!
Thank goodness he is the "soon to be ex" ... but does your poor friend have to carry on living with him? - jane said...
-
i think he did that all on purpose. to make her feel uncomfortable & to chase you away. he must see his soon-to-be-ex getting some confidence, enough to go thru this divorce & that threatens him.
what a weasel of a man! i have many other choice words, but your blog is nice & these words aren't.
you're a good friend, doris! - Karen said...
-
He sounds like a right weirdo - Some people are just not nice, Is your friend aware how uncomfortable he makes you feel?
- Cheryl said...
-
It happens to both genders, I've seen it both ways round - the difference being women are so ready to trust, and men are so much bigger and stronger.
Nonetheless, you get one dependant, resentful person attracted to another for their emotional strength, freedom, and friendly nature. They pull out all the stops to appear to be like that person and therefore appear attractive also. Then when the courting is over and they feel 'equal' the weak minded one continues to consolidate their own self image by treading on what they once looked up to. Thats the point where people get treated as possessions.
Counselling courses should do him good. If its not the degree or diploma, but the basic listening skills, then maybe he will learn about himself, learn to hear what he says. If its further on than that then there are case studies, so he will still be in for a learning curve.
Sorry you felt so slimed. - dog1net said...

I've never understood how some people can talk incessantly. Where I work we have an individual that drones on about this and that but never really has much to say about any thing except that he just goes on and on until your ears begin to hurt and your head begins to swell, yet he never notices that you're not trying to listen because he's just too busy talking at you.
As always, I find something worthwhile and interesting to read on your blog.

Is it wrong?
This was sent to me by email intending to be a joke and I wonder if it is wrong of me to say I actually like the dress. I just don't like the bosom line in this nor the headpiece but otherwise, if a celebrity wants to go for pink fluff then good for them. Enjoy! :-)

It looks as if she took the toilet paper cover to a seamstress and said, "This is my dream dress! Make me one"
Then, when she put it on for the first time her enourmous breasts blew the stitching right out of the bodice and she decided what the hell I'll wear it anyway.
Did her friends not tell her ahead of time that this was a perfectly awful dress? Furthermore, did her friends not tell her that her breasts looked like two pigs fighting to get out of a burlap sack? - doris said...
-
LOL
Googles for "burlap sack" ..... used for crocus bulbs, manure and that sort of garden stuff. Okaaaay!
There must be some incredible infrastructure to keep her boobs up.
I still think the dress would be OK as long as one could take one's eyes off the boobies :-) - Cheryl said...
-
Why can't we see the Christmas tree?
- Chris said...

I like that dress also, probably because of what pookie said: "her enourmous breasts blew the stitching right out of the bodice and she decided what the hell I'll wear it anyway."
It's great that the model had the courage to wear the toilet paper cover as her dress! We should encourage more women to make similiar fashion statements in the future.

One woman's dream dress is another woman's toilet paper cover?!
You always cheer me up, Doris! - Mama Mouse said...
-
I thought the picture just had a pinkish cast! LOL .... but the dress IS pink! The skirt part is ok ... the veil is ok ... the bodice might not need a heavy infrastructure if those huge boobs are fake! Some I've seen don't move even a fraction of an inch and looks as if they are as hard and solid as rocks! LOL
The tiara headpiece HAS TO GO!!! It is HORRIBLE ... and the corset part just doesn't seem appropriate to me for a wedding. But then I'm an old lady! - Le laquet said...
-
Oh my - there's a seamstress somewhere that needs shooting!
- prying1 said...
-
Being a guy I'm sort of ignorant on this sort of thing. How much packing material does it take to get those ... (Hmmm. Toss up between jugs and melons) ... to pooch out like that. I sure hope she recycles whatever she has stuffed in there or at least gives it to an ebay seller for shipping sold items. -
- Anji said...

reminds me of Barbie. I've always hated those toilet roll covers.....and Barbie
- Z said...

Useless pieces of fluff - the pair of them.
mama mouse just doesn't seem appropriate to me for a wedding
more than she would normally wear - must have killed her to keep her clothes on for the camera.
prying1 - LOVE the ebay statement. - Cheryl said...
-
To be honest I really don't know how a woman could be happy being so disfigured. Look at those boobs, even facing the camera they are hiding areas of her arms and she looks like she has two spare heads strapped to her chest. How disabling must it be, to have those things in the way, stopping you reaching where you want? She looks like if she fell over forwards, she couldn't put her arms out, they look so restrictive. At least real ones would have more 'give' in them than the silicon version. I wonder if she gets back ache.
- MattyD said...
-
Hahahaha!
My nan has a toilet roll cover like that! I'll check it out next time and see if it looks like Jordan or any other famous people! - ella m. said...
-
I wonder how many horrible bridesmaid and prom gowns had to die to provide enough taffeta for that circus tent of a skirt and the veil attached to that wanna be ms. universe headpiece.
- Karen said...
-
I'd love a dress like that - just to wear in the house when everyone was out.
- jane said...
-
well, something just doesn't look right. her skins too tan. her boobs are WAY too firm & big.
but she looks more like a paper towel holder cuz it looks like a pole is stuck up in her.
i don't care for it. but no, it's not wrong, doris. :) - Janet said...
-
Interesting, I didn't know anyone still used those t.p. covers.
- Le laquet said...
-
Doris - could you please check to see if the pop-up is gone for me? I got rid of some bits and pieces - Ta muchly!

Let's hope they both fall in a toilet real soon!

The dress definately isn't my thing, and that's coming from someone with a bright pink blog lol.

Fake, fake, fake. Those things are soooooo fake. (Her ginormous breasts, for the blind among you.) And she's clearly proud of them, too, shoving them up there, twice the size of her poor empty head. sheesh.

What is it with you and
Karen both blogging about them at the same time.
Well, at least your work was done by a professional!
HUGS!!!
I agree with mama..it would have been nice to had it all done at one time. My thoughts are with you. I hate dental work.
I go to the dentist tomorrow night, but no teeth pulled. Still I have to take an anxiety pill first.
What is NHS? And Scrummy? And what is plum sausage made from?
If the tooth fairy goes with inflation/or the cost of oil...either is good... then you should find a fair bit of money under your pillow tomorrow ;)
Hope you're feeling ok! :)
After two hours I still wanted him to continue but he refused, and sewed a flap of gum over the remaining third of the tooth instead. It was decay in the top part (which was gone) that was the problem, so he said it would probably be OK. (I didn't like the sound of that 'probably.')
I went home, sat down and wrote an email, felt fine, stood up to go make myself a cup of tea, felt suddenly ill, dropped to the floor and crawled to the toilet, vomited, passed out, and stayed lying on the floor for the next half hour. It was HORRIBLE.
Your dentist was right not to continue. Carry on too long and you go into shock, and that isn't nice.
(I didn't have pain afterwards, though. Only during the operation, but far too much of it.)
So does that mean you still have a bit of tooth in you?
MattyD - I forgot to ask to have my teeth back even though I had considered asking! I hadn't thought about the investment opportunity though. Thought I might thread them into a necklace..... nah - only joking!
Emporer Joe - 'tis good to hear that you survived! Thanks for sharing and look forward to visiting your blog sometime soon :-)
Thanks everyone else for your hugs and support!
Jane - NHS = National Health Service. All adults pay a little every week towards the NHS so I suppose it is just like paying for health care in the US but the idea is that anyone can get health care without having to pay extra. In practise, it is not working so well these days but we still have to pay our NHS payments even if we choose to go private. (Which we don't on the whole except for dental treatment which I'd have to pay for anyway even on the NHS)
Scrummy = I suppose it is short for scrumptious which I reckon means extra delicious!
Plum sausage = didn't I say Duck and Plum sausage? An you know how good duck is with something sweet such as orange so I guess these are duck .... and .... plum... LOL Actually, we got to taste some cooked before we bought them and I know they are wonderful whereas son is looking foward to them just because they sound good. :-)
will you let me know how it is?
