I'm one of the many who are designated 'Shielded' and under strict self isolation. One side affect of the medication I need for my underlying condition is that I have a greatly reduced immune system and over the past few weeks my teeth have been under attack and have become the source of great pain.
It was necessary to remove two rather mobile front teeth. Of course I cannot visit a dentist. The process went as follows*:
1. Eat 3 paracetamol washed down with copious quantity of Vodka.
2. Wash hands for length of time it takes to sing 'All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth'.
3. Wrench tooth from jaw ditherlessly.
4. Sigh with relief.
5. Drink Vodka to celebrate.
6. Receive call from kind dentist who took the time on a Sunday afternoon who advises that I have done exactly the right thing under the circumstances.
7. Start course of Amoxicillin.
8. Eat two Diazapam and 2 paracetamol washed down with Vodka.
9. Sleep like a filmstar.
* I AM IN NO WAY ENCOURAGING ANYONE TO SELF MEDICATE IN THIS WAY. I took advice before proceeding.
