                                                              A Love Story and Medical Advice

I don't have the credentials to give medical advice but I'm going to pass on some good information wrapped up in a story of Love.


A Love Story



I will seek and find you . . . . . .








I shall take you to bed and have my way with you .










I will make you ache, shake & sweat until you moan & groan.










I will make you beg for mercy, beg for me to stop.










I will exhaust you to the point that you will be relieved when I'm finished with you.










And, when I am finished, you will be weak for days.










All my love,










The Flu



Now, get your mind out of the gutter and go get your flu shot!

Needles!!!

It's strange, but dental needles never both me - I think it's the ability to see the things that gets to me.

Dental needles are the worst, I had several yesterday when I had a wisdom tooth removed and a filling done. I also was given gas, not sure if it worked or not, I've only ever had it once before when I was in labour and it made absolutely no difference what so ever.

I had a needle inserted into my coccyx last week     It could have been a lot worse but a friend convinced me to relax and deep breathe whenever having an injection and it works to a large extent

Usually, for a wisdom, MB, they would use a number of 'gum numb' injections, followed by an ID (inferior dental) or nerve block. That's the one given with a long needle to the inside (tongue side) of the gum. If a dentist hits the nerve right, it feels like they've just put the needle through your tongue. 

Gas is very rarely used in the UK now, though it was commonplace when I was a kid. Only specialist clinics tend to perform dentistry under general anaesthetic, most use sedation when needed.

Hope you're not too sore today.

I did have two wisdom teeth out over twenty years ago and was injected with valium and some other drug which knocked me out for the procedure, which was nice.

It's a little tender, but I would love to have a bowl of muesli as yogurt and soup is getting boring.

It's the hot salt water mouth washes that get to me, MB. After a while, it feels like I've been eating nothing but salt beef.

I know that's what I'm suppose to be doing, three times a day  , but I never did that with any other extractions, plus I smoked and drank shortly after each of them. Probably why I have had to have them removed in the first place. 

Well I don't smoke or drink anymore that has to be enough.
