And another tooth goes....
Just about to leave for the dentist. The intermittent swelling that I've had on the gum below one tooth for almost five years (and which was quite painless for 99% of the time) turned out to be a "bone abcess" - sufficiently far away from the blood supply that antibiotics were no use, but also not very close to any nerves).

Anyway, I finally had an appointment to get the tooth above pulled, and the whole thing scoured out in the immediate run-up to Beltane, but I really didn't want to have it done just then. Unfortunately, today was the next soonest appointment I could get, and the damn' thing finally started getting painful about mid-May.

[And of course, there's still the foot thing, and the cold from last week that made the beer festival such fun (I don't think it's hayfever- or tobacco-withdrawal- related, if only 'cos it's a bit more widespread than I'd expect either of those to be) - I guess I'm just getting old and falling apart]
