TEETHLESS TORTURE

Necessary dental torture today. Surgery to file/scrape down (not exact description) sharp bone bits in upper gums. I've been waiting for this NHS appointment for quite a while and it finally happened. Kind, competent, gentle young dentist and her assistant inflicted torture as kindly as possible with plenty of injections of anaesthetic in roof of mouth...OUCH OUCH OUCH. Now I must wait for the roof to calm down. It will get better, they said, in about a week.

Thanks Munch.
