Having two wisdom teeth extracted tomorrow. 1 day ago

What fun!

Thankfully, three of my wisdom teeth are nicely within reach, and will only require a local anaesthetic. My dentist is taking out the two on the my right side, so that I can still eat on the left.

They don’t cause any pain, but they’ve caused my teeth to become crowded and irregular – and the angle of the top right tooth makes it particularly difficult to get the toothbrush behind it. I wanted to have them removed now, before they can cause any real problems.

I’ve never had a tooth removed before. I’m not fussed about the dentist or the procedure itself – the only thing about which I’m slightly worried is how my dodgy TMJ will react if it has too much force applied. Oh – and I’ve managed to chew a nice hole in my lower lip this week. Hopefully it’ll be healed enough by tomorrow that it doesn’t split when I open up my mouth. (Luckily, lips seem to heal quickly.)

My appointment is tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, I have a 2.5 hour drive to stay with my Grandmother for the weekend. (My parents are away until Monday, and Grandma gets a bit wobbly these days.) My mum dropped off a batch of vege soup to Grandma’s, so I’ll have something easy to eat for tomorrow night – just in case.

This amused me... (read all 2 entries…)
Not long ago, I spent a weekend with a friend and her children. 1 day ago

Her little girl (AB) is just over two-and-a-half – with the language skills of a four-year-old – and her son is twelve months old.

We had to make a two-hour car trip for a weekend visit – my friend drove, whilst I tended to the kids from the front seat. About an hour into the journey, AB called out to me.

“Shell.”

My friend was in the midst of a story, so I didn’t immediately respond. AB tried again, a little louder.

“Shell.”

I started turning around to look at her, but obviously wasn’t quick enough.

“Jonesy!”

It took all our effort for my friend and I not to dissolve into giggles. We’d never heard her use my nickname before, and my friend doesn’t ever refer to me as Jonesy when she’s speaking with AB – if anything, she usually refers to me as ‘little Shell’, to distinguish me from our other friend, ‘big Shell’.

That night (Friday), AB woke up in the wee hours because she was cold. Her brother was also unwell, so my friend didn’t get much sleep. On Saturday night, we decided that I would sleep on a mattress in AB’s room, so that I could cover her up if she woke again, in the hope that she might go back to sleep. I explained to AB that if she woke up and was cold, she could call out to me and I would help her.

In the wee hours of Sunday morning, I heard AB stir. She began chatting to herself, then sang a verse of her dad’s football team song. I tried not to giggle, but couldn’t help myself when the next thing she said was, “Jonesy, I’m cold. I’m cold, Jonesy.”
