Ouch!


I don't mean to put you off your breakfast, but I was enjoying mine on Saturday morning when it became obvious that something was not quite as it should be. Investigation revealed that I had broken a tooth. My teeth have been around for a long time and I suppose they're getting a bit tired of the things I ask them to chomp on. This time it was a few raw almonds - really good for me, but not for my tired teeth. Fortunately the damage has not resulted in toothache as it is really difficult to get in to see my dentist even for an emergency. Goodness knows how I'd get on if I were rolling about the floor in agony. Well I'm not so I'll just have to put up with the jagged edge for a couple of weeks until I can keep the appointment to have it fixed.
Meantime I am enjoying the child's sweater I have finished. Stripes are a good way to use up a quantity of wool that is insufficient for a garment but this time I thought I'd turn the stripes into fair isle. I made the design small in order to avoid long floaters at the back of the work, and wove them in after each 2 stitches. I'm quite pleased with it. It's destined for a charity that I knit for so I'll never see it on its wearer - half the fun of knitting I think. Anyway just the knowledge that it will keep some small person warm is a pleasant thought.
My lovely bloke has just brought me a cup of tea so I'll say bye for now until next time.

  2. Hello Pat. It seems logical, doesn't it? But then we'd have a whole lot of unemployed dentists. Oh dear.

  4. Ouch, I've done that! I broke a tooth on some toast several months ago. My dentist says, that's just what comes with age. Oh dear. At least he was able to fix it; it looks nicer than it did before!

  5. You're welcome Nessa, thanks for the memory.

    Minding my own: I'm hopeful mine will be a success story too. Still another weeks to wait.

  6. Oh its just awful when we break a tooth or a filling falls out. I tend to not stop rubbing my tongue over it until its fixed. Its such a pain going to the dentist, but at least it doesnt hurt anymore. I was so scared of dentists, but its a breeze now, just a nuisance. Lovely jumper too, :)

  7. Donz I still dread a dentist visit even though he is a very nice man. I'll be glad to get this tooth fixed though as the edge is really sharp. :(

  8. I feel you. Good thing our Memphis dentists are very gentle and enough in examining our teeth. They do the works to my whole family. Hope you got your teeth fixed by now.
