suddenly and spectacularly. I simply flipped over, hurting my right foot – have a large swelling and it is too painful to walk. I also hurt my back and my coccyx. I sure that they will be black and blue tomorrow. Afterwards, I was shaking uncontrollably and also had visual disturbance.

Becasue I could not eat anythign solid today!

I managed to break a tooth today, while crunching on a nutty snack. I chomped on a nut and crack! my only tooth with a filling, just cracked.

Within a couple of hours I was at the dentist and having a temporary filling put in place. This should last anything from 2 months to 2 years. Therafter I may need to get a crown for that tooth.

I am hoping that I don’t get an infection from the broken tooth. I did not have to pay anything because our medical aid covers it.
