Good Things & Bad Things

Well today was a day of ups and downs and unfortunately, in a way, more down than up. We all have days like these and it’s just one of things you have to deal with. The major downer of the day was that I had to make an emergency appointment with my dentist. Over the last week a small bump on my gum below a tooth. This then became bigger to the point where puss was coming out (it also hurt!).

After a quick Google, I found that I most probably had an abscess. This wasn’t good news as it could involve a root canal. So I went to the dentist and managed to get myself squeezed in between two appointments. When he had a looked he confirmed it was indeed an abscess and that my tooth would need to be removed ASAP. I decided to go for it. I have a mental thing with teeth and dentists which I won’t go in to. However, you have to understand that for me, it takes a lot to go to the dentist. Say what you will but you won’t understand unless you’re me.

Anyway, that was sorted and things are feeling better if a little weird with not having a tooth where there once was a tooth. Still there was good news today. I found out that the last of my Web Technologies projects will actually be an essay which will suit me more than a coding based project. So yes, it wasn’t all bad but I certainly didn’t see me having a tooth removed when I woke up this morning.
