Toothache!

Hallo I'm back again!

In my absence have been writing a commercial sort story. All revious submissions have failed and I wanted to have another go. 'Oho' I thought finishing the story with a flourish, I'll write loads more stories instead of blogging. Net result – no stories and no blog. I have been spending the time knitting wristwarmers, playing scrabble and generally lying fallow.

Forced into action again by the flattering comments of Mls-d3 (the youngest of Mlh's 3 daughters), I suspect she wants to keep an eye on what her father is up to!

What has happened in our life? Mlh has had bad toothache, Not quite the correct behaviour for carers who should be hale and hearty at all times.. In any event the toothache turned out to be in the category of man flu as it has gone away without intervention.

This is a wonderful outcome as late Friday night Mlh was so distraught that he actually rang NHS Direct, something he vowed never to do again after his experience of ringing them on my behalf. On that occasion, he didn't want to trouble the out-of-hours doctor.. He gave the same details to three assorted people , the third of whom recommended that he ring a late-night pharmacist which he then did. He was advised by Ame to see a doctor!

Meanwhile back in Mlh's mouth, the problem appears to have been caused by an abscess created by some drilling. Just a storm in a teacup or an extinct abscess in a mouth.

But, back to me (carers don't get much coverage). I must tell you about an exciting little incident which would have been quiite scary except it was so quiick and painless., As you know Mlh leaves me on the drive while he goes and opens the front door and takes in any shopping , turns of the burglar alarm, makes a cup of coffee, puts his feet up and reads the poat. (No he doesn't really, it just seems that long)Thinking I would save him fthe trouble of having to come back for me I started to wheel myself up the ramp that leads to our house. It gets quite steep, so I was having to push very hard to make any progress. Anyway suddenly the chair tipped over completely causing me to fall backwards with my feet in the air. I didn't even have time to see my life flash before me.

'What did you do that for?' Mlh inquired accusingly on reappearing out of the house, and seeing me lying on the ground. You must know I've taken the stabilisers off! (I didn't)
