Re: Bob's Bits.
Thanks Meg, Myrtle and Twink you have made me feel better already......You were exactly spot on Meg, My Dentist drilled a hole in my tooth and the horrible smelling custard came oozing out from the gum above. The Doctor had prescribed 500mg Amoxicillin for the Infected Sinus, so the dentist said 'He has prescribed the right treatment for the wrong ailment'...He went on to massage my gum....Ouch....but it seems to have done the trick and I slept most of the night without too much pain.
My face still looks like I have gone three rounds with Mike Tyson but I don't need to take half the pain killers I was taking. And you are right Meg, I feel worse when I can't get out to exercise. I feel as drained as the abscess now so it will be light duties today, preferably indoors. The Dentist has placed a temporary filling in the tooth and says he doubts that it will fill up again, so I need to go back in a week or two for him to make a proper job of it.
The root of the tooth had died some time ago and was slowly festering away that had caused the abscess. That part of my face has felt a bit tender for quite a number of years but who knew it would turn into this. So you will all be glad to hear that suicide is not going to be an option and Bob's Bits WILL continue.....You lucky people!

Re: Bob's Bits.
Aw sorry Arty I don't want to see you go hungry, so no more talk about oozy stuff....I would like to mention though that I have been improving all day.
After feeling rough when I dragged myself out of bed this morning I realised that there was still some way to go before I made a full recovery. Mrs Fox would be away all day and we were running low on supplies so it was up to me to do the Tesco shop or go hungry.
I returned home feeling quite ill and now I had some additional pain where the dentist had applied pressure to my gum and the tooth that had been drilled, so soup would be preferable to anything chewy. I succumbed to the pain and had an Ibuprofen with the soup.
It's been over eight hours now and am still pain free so I guess the Ibuprofen would have worn off, it looks like Thursday's mornings run might be a goer!
