Tnx. Since the root expelled itself 24 hours ago, the soreness has receded

. The Dentist - not met her before - had a good prod around and there is no sign of infection. PHEW! My Surgeon will contact me with the next step: it was to be a bone graft but if activity in that area of the upper jaw is going to induce pain, we may need to think again!
Been and restocked the cabinets at the antique shop. Sat by the ponds eating bread and marmalade on our return

Laundry hung on the line. Feet up. now.
