Well the deed is done. Tooth out and all is well. Got my own (new) dentist for my emergency appointment and as this was the first work he had done on me apart from checkups, I was quite impressed.

I was just thinking when I was waiting for the injections to take, and after chatting to the assistant re fear of dentists. Wouldn't it be a good idea to put valium in the air con in the waiting room. Then we could float into the surgery and back out. No worries! But the staff would have to be banned from the waiting room!

I had a dentist many years ago who played music, however, I moved my head in time with the music  ……  I have suggested to our Dentist that a foot massage would be nice [didn't tell him I would have to shave my legs though  ] especially when I was undergoing long-term treatment sessions.  He has done a Psychology Degree too so is aware of how to talk to anyone who is nervous.

Glad you are OK Bramble.  Will you have a gap or go for an implant? 

[bramble]

It's one of the back ones so doing nothing.

PS. Have given myself today off walking in case I get a cold in the socket but back to it tomorrow.

Rest up for a couple of days. It's a shock to the system no matter how you feel at the moment.

Nothing strenuous for a wee while or you could make the socket bleed. Hubby did that and ended up with stitches.

Well done Bramble - join the club - I had one out a couple of weeks ago in emergency appt! Feels odd doesn't it when they yank it out?! Glad the injections worked.... I was told to hold salt water in my mouth several times a day but not to gargle in case I made it bleed. Also told to take painkillers as soon as I got home in case it hurt over the next few hours but didn't need any more after that. Seems to be OK now though but still daren't eat on that side! Unfortunately mine isn't far enough back to have a gap.... Do hope yours recovers OK! I was out and working the next morning - I'm sure you'll be fine!

I am not coping with anxiety well, it's background ……. all the while.  Damn it  although when out this morning it went away.

Maybe just a little blip CLKD. We all have up and down days.

It's been background since October  …….

Just been to get my BP checked. It was a bit high in November when I went so had to go back again. It is now spot on 120/84 - best it has ever been I think in the last umpteen years. So it looks as though my walking is paying off! I would like to think so. Perhaps I should rename this thread as 'Walking Back to Happiness' !

Well done! being in the fresh air helps me, especially if I'm in the garden.

[bramble]

Now consistently walking more steps in a day than in a week back in November when I first started! Hurrah. Just did over 8000 steps today for the first time! Do I feel fitter? - not yet. Is my anxiety less? - yes I think so. Do I feel a sense of achievement? - yes. Have I been able to go out and about more? - no. Will I be able to keep this up? - hope so.
