Aug. 3rd, 2007 02:50 pmDentist today for my much needed filling. The surgery's tucked away in a little corner at the back of a Co-op - after walking down Twyford Drive and not seeing it I had to phone them to ask where they were located, but still made it with minutes to spare. As a new patient I had to fill in a couple of forms (and correct their getting my first name wrong), but was seen quickly.
Una, the young Chinese dentist, saw immediately how sore my tongue was from a week of being lacerated by the jagged point. She said I'd need additional treatment on my broken tooth, as it's got a lot of decay that's even spread under its existing large filling. She gave me a temporary filling, and warned me not to run my tongue over the tooth as the filling was made of a jelly-like material that needed to set, and said I'd have to come back for a routine check-up to see what further treatment would be needed. Frankly, if the tooth was already that bad before the further damage it took from that Viking toffee, I wish they'd just take the fucker out. But, on the bright side, my check-up will be next month so I have another lot of pay to come before facing the full bill; for now I was just charged £15.90 for an examination. And, most importantly, I can now eat without having my tongue spiked every ten seconds.
As I waited for the bus home, the current Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayoress pulled up in front of me, to go into the Lee Community Centre. We said hello, I asked how they were liking life on the civic circuit and they asked if I was missing it...
