Poor James
After our early morning yesterday, we ended up having an unwelcome late night as well. James had an emergency dentist appointment booked for today, but we had to go to A&E last night as he was in so much pain with his mouth, he was finding it unbearable. A&E was pretty much empty, and after about an hour’s wait, he was seen and sent on his way with a big stack of pills to keep him going. I’ve never seen anyone in so much pain before and I felt completely helpless. It took until 4am for the pain to subside and he eventually came to bed at 6am only to have to get up a couple of hours later to go to the dentist miles away in Hawick. He has some kind of infection which the dentist has dressed. I don’t know how long it will take for him to get better but I hope he’ll be better in time for our big Christmas dinner (in our undecorated dining room). Now I just need to convince him not to go in to work tomorrow.

Ow. Just, ow. Poor James. Hope he’s feeling better soon. (My friend had terrible pain after a dental operation and she swore by copious amounts of painkillers and whisky. Not entirely convinced that’s something that the medical profession would recommend though!)
