Lorii has been in constant pain with tooth ache since Friday evening. Typically Lorii always waits until the start of a Bank holiday weekend to start such an ailment to ensure maximum pain and suffering on her part. So throughout this weekend Lorii has alternated through brief moments of consciousness, during which she has necked every non prescription analgesic she can get her hands on. Interspersed with long periods of unconsciousness during which she snored loudly.
This morning I took her to the dentist. One look at the tooth that thought it was a volcano and he declared it was coming out. He gave Lorii five injections and sent her out to the waiting room until she was really numb. Trouble is the adrenaline in the jab makes Lorii tremble almost uncontrollably. So she had a hard time not giving a small child the heebe jeebies as he waited for his turn. Eventually a numb and nervous Lorii is called back in. When she emerged she was as white as a sheet and obviously in trouble. It turned out there was a huge abscess on the end of the tooth. So Lorii was told to sit for a while until she was over the shock of the extraction, which despite the anaesthetic still hurt her a lot.
She is now (12.30pm) tucked up in bed, full of more painkillers praying that when she awakes the worst of the pain will be gone.
