Tooth and Foot

The week before last, I went to the endodontist for the third time.  This time he used a longer file to clear out my root canals.  Apparently my roots were a bit longer than he thought.  This time, rather than falling asleep in the chair, as I did the last two times, I feel asleep and suddenly woke up.  I felt something.  Ah elation!  For us both I think.  He had reached something and flushed it out.  I am now to wait till late-march when if the pus and bleeding has stopped, he'll fill the roots ready for a crown.  Late march because Foot Operation number 2 (left bunion removal) is on Monday!

I am booked into the Riverside Centre at Lewisham Hospital for 12pm.  Strange to think that the drill or whatever the surgeon is going to use to break my foot might be eco-powered.  I'll take a 'before' picture tomorrow, for reference later.  I'm going to walk to the hospital, through Mountsfield Park with it's great views over Lewisham towards Canary Wharf, and then its just a few streets to the Hospital.  Obviously, I'm getting a lift home (from my uncle).

I did a big shop today in East Dulwich.  Apart from some fancy handwash from Roullier White, which was why I went there, I bought a load of fruit and veg from Sainsburys, which should help with healing, and for the first time in a long time, I got some fish and chips for dinner.  I'd been intrigued by Sea Cow for a while, and when I looked, I saw I could get some non-endangered Coley and Chips for £5.  It's a really modern place.  At the front is a display of fish, like a fishmonger and a waiting area.  Round the side and back is canteen seating in that modern all-wood way.  I was told it would take 5 minutes and I took a seat to wait for my takeaway.  The Sea Cow is right next to the bus stop, and I saw two of my buses go by.  Just after the second one left I was called over to pick up my box of fish and chips.  It was given to me in a paper bag, so all recyclable, and it smelled great.  I snuck a little chip and it was perfect and crunchy.  It would have stayed that way if I had got the order 30 seconds earlier.  Instead I had a fairly lengthy wait for the bus, and then we got stuck in heavy traffic approaching Catford.  So much traffic!  Back home, it was all luke warm, and a minute in the microwave made it hot, but moist.  Drat.  Still tasty though.

Wish me luck!
