1月31日 Soft foods for meI went
to visit my dentist yesterday. He did a filling about eight months
ago which "caved in" after a couple of months. I kept meaning to go back,
but you know how it is: There's always something else more important, and
visiting any health-care practitioner involves taking time off work.
Anyway, he decided to make use of the opportunity to take a complete set of
x-rays and do something called a "scale and polish" (I think) - can't
remember the exact term he used. The filling turned out to be quite a
major job because he needed to make it thicker and take a little off the top
molar to try and reduce the heaviness of my bite. He did a lot of stuff in
there and whilst I couldn't feel anything, I just knew it was going to ache
later!
Sure enough, my jaw
had a throbbing ache later that evening, and I was glad that I didn't have to go
out anywhere! The most irriating thing about it all is that I have to
avoid pressure on the amalgam for 48 hours to ensure it sets properly, and after
having to have it redone so soon, I decided not to take any chances. I had
a liquid supper, oats for breakfast and a liquid lunch, but now I am really
hungry. There are still another 24 hours to go :-(
News on the
romantic front is interesting. M (I'm going to call her that for now)
seems undecided about how things should run from here on out. I sent her
an email on Tuesday asking how she was doing, and I received what seemed to me a
rather indifferent reply. Yesterday I was feeling quite rotten (some
strange virus I think because it's gone today,) and in exchanging emails
she mentioned that she was having coffee with a friend nearby, and perhaps I
would like to pop in and say hi ...
What a
question! Of course I wanted to, and I duly made an appearance.
Thing is I was feeling dizzy and faint (just like when my blood-sugar drops) and
I can't have been at my best. I managed some kind
of conversation, or so I remember, and shortly thereafter she was ready to
leave. The leaving was a bit awkward because it's hard to know what is
acceptable to someone who's told you: "It's over." It ended up in the
hallway with her trying to pay the bill and me wondering where to stand. I
decided on a quick exit, gave her shoulder a squeeze and mumbled some kind of a
goodbye.
After that I went
home and got myself into bed for a rest - bearing in mind, of course, that I had
to be up for the dentist later. The rest actually helped a lot, and during
that time she sent a text asking how I was doing and saying it had been good to
see me. Yeah well I feel pretty much the same but I'm still not sure where
this is or isn't going. Anyway, I guess the best thing to do is just to
let her work out for herself what she wants. I'm all for
"drawing lines in the sand," but there's a time for that and I
believe this isn't it.
There's more to
this story but I've run out of blogging time, so watch this space for
another mostly boring episode of "a day in the life of
Steve."
