Tomorrow...


...I'm dragging the Hubster off to the docs again.

After having the day off on Monday he was feeling better today, well, he was up until this evening.

Two biggy painkillers later and he's still feeling the pain - time to re-evaluate.

To top it off the poor guy only stumbled into the ladder of the bunkbed in the dark and stubbed his toe, bigtime!!! It didn't take his mind off the other pain - just added to it.

At that point, he was definitely not having a good day!

Thankfully he's kipping now and so is the lil man who, for the past few nights, has been waking up, just like clockwork, at around 2am, (hence the reason why I'm up so late, just waiting for the inevitable)!

We think he's teething - again!!!!! I guess 12 teeth just aren't enough for him and he wants the full set already!

Just when he starts settling into a routine of sorts and starts sleeping through the night, his teeth decide to pop through in a painfully slow, drawn-out process.

I guess I shouldn't complain too much - he's never been ill in his life so I've not had to cope with croup or ear infections or stomach upsets.

Full-on exposure to germs must be behind it, (we're talking here about the lil guy who enjoys a good gnaw on a shopping cart while I'm perusing the goods at the store) plus there's every possibility that my superhuman immune system might've been passed onto him too! *L*

That's my boy!!!

Ouch?


Well, kinda, sorta! It sure took some working to get that darn tooth out and it felt like the dude had hold of a nerve too!

Now, touching a nerve doesn't hurt in your usual, traditional way - it's like touching metal paper to a filling - not fun!!!!!

It seemed like it took him ages to get that lil bugger out - I don't remember the last one being so bloody hard to pull or taking so long either!

Next week I'm due to have the top one pulled which, apparently, shouldn't be so much of an ordeal.

Yeah, er...sure!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the guy used enough anaesthetic to knock out a bull elephant and still I could feel that 'nerve pain'!!!!!

Just my luck!


I will be having my first brush with the dental practise in this wonderful country this afternoon and it'll probably cost as much as a small used two door hatchback.

I am so not looking forward to this!

I detest going to the dentist and the price I have to pay is toothache. Ugh! Sometimes I wish they'd just pull the bloody lot out and give me dentures - teeth are nothing but a pain from the moment they pop up in your mouth, (the lil man would confirm this)!

Hubs has taken the day off of work, (of course he protested loudly against this - NOT) in order to take me to the mouth butcher and also to look after the lil man whilst I'm incapacitated and is already considering the thought of having to take tomorrow off too - to care for me and the lil man, of course!

I keep telling myself not to panic about going to the dentist - what's there to be worried about? I've had three kids with little to no pain relief - at least I know that the anaesthetic works at the dentist!!! A couple of jabs in the gums, a spot of dry mouth cos you've forgotten how to salivate and no pain - no problem, right?!
Well, we'll see - it's been a while since the last time...
