Good to hear that you feel better.
Last year I had the usual illness that starts on a Friday night before a Monday Bank holiday. I had an infection under a tooth - got to see a GP for some antibiotics to kick in before phoning the dentists. I tried 4 dentists and the 4th offered an appointement in 9 weeks !! The fifth dentist saw me the next day - drilled through the tooth then stuck needles into my jaw to burst the capsule and draw puss. Loveley - I got the local after and different antibiotics.
After a few nights of no sleep and pain the agony I experience in the dentists chair had all but gone before I made it home from the dentists and slept on and off for 2 days.
My plan is to have dentures rather than go thru that pain again so I am doing the Eurolottery each Friday.
