Far and Away

I should call Clover 'Flash' @TAB as that is all I see sometimes when she bounds into the house and disappears up the hallway lol She is tiny but super quick - so is Tobes. I used to be when I was (much) younger too so it must run in the family lol

No pain at present in my tooth but I did have a bad toothache several weeks ago @utopia @Snowie and the dentist built up my back tooth (and meds) to relieve the pain but it seems there was an infection in it all along. I really don't want that tooth out but it may not be avoidable now - so I am not happy with my dentist 😔 ...see what happens when I see him.

Doing a clean out of the side of my house @Faith-and-Hope @TAB @Snowie @utopia It has been a storage area for things I have pulled apart or torn down but it is all on the trailer now. I am going to stack the bricks I pulled up from the old path there so they are out of the way - then I can begin laying the garden bed where I have them stacked presently. It is quite warm here today so I can only do a little at a time - having lots of breaks and plenty of water in between. Nothing like a good clean up to start the new year hey lol

Yes must run in the family @Zoe7 lol

yeah my vast and expensive dental history says no

pain not necessarily a good thing .. just means nerves rotted out usually . Im a stage where teeth been filled 10x root canaled then they split and end up biting into half a tooth while eating something relatively soft.. ok got a few crowns too now lol

I hope you don't have to get another tooth pulled @Zoe7

Well done for achieving so much today. It is too hot here to do anything.

Yes I suspect that too @TAB considering how much pain I was in a few weeks ago and now none. I have the same issue - the last 2 teeth my dentist tried to do a root canal on both broke so I had to have them pulled out ...so this one will most likely be the same 😔

It is good to have some more things sorted around the house @Snowie It means once I can begin paving the other side of the house, I will have somewhere to store the bricks. Clover won't be too impressed though - that was one of her hiding spots.

Oh plus finally got a tooth out @Zoe7 people talked me out of it for years. Don't notice it eating ok molar couple from back and can't really see it. Cost a lot more than I thought though it didn't come out easy(ily) 😅 they had to hack it into pieces

Yeah same as me @Zoe7 just wasn't enough tooth left so spent '000s on root canal and end up spitting half tooth out few years later 🤦‍♂️

This one is a few in from the back @TAB so will leave a sizeable gap 😔 Luckily mine come out pretty easily but need minimal anaesthetic as I have had a bad reaction before so it does hurt.

I'm sure Clover will find some new hiding spots @Zoe7

Izzy hasn't moved from the couch the whole day. She is just lying under the cooler. Too hot here to do anything.

That's terrible @Zoe7 cant they give you options for pain? Like laughing gas or general or whatever?

@Snowie I am sure Clover will find somewhere else - she is pretty small so can hide easily lol

@TAB It is not ideal but so far it has been okay with minimal anaesthetic. The last time I had a general anaesthetic there were complications also 😔

Going to head back outside for a while - catch you both later.
