Oooowwwww.....

Hello all, hope to see some of you tomorrow at Inspirations in Preston for a demonstration of Zendoodle stamps and Ranger inks. Rather than my usual bubbly self, I may possibly be more of a "blubbery" self as, at the moment, I look rather like this.....

.....!!!!!

The completion of my root canal treatment yesterday was completely painless but, by the evening, I was in agony with a relentless throbbing and a swollen jaw. Typically these things flare up out of hours! Unfortunately my own dentist was not at the practice today (also typical!) so I had to see one of his colleagues who didn't exactly have his caring manner! So, I'm on antibiotics and strong paracetamol - I can't take the type of painkillers that might actually bring some relief as I'm allergic to aspirin - but, so far, they're not really helping.

Apparently it's down to an infection that is now trapped in the newly capped tooth - nice! I've been told I just have to ride out the pain but I have an emergency number should it not start to improve by tomorrow. 

After a sleepless night I thought I'd get into bed after taking my pills at 3.30 this afternoon...then I gave myself a real fright by waking at 6.15pm and thinking it was Saturday morning! Isn't it weird when you wake up with no sense of time or place?!

Anyway, as I'm "a tough little cookie" as David always described me, I shall be at Inspirations tomorrow - but please excuse my fat face!!!
