pain

My oldwork released a report; it's the first one out since I left.  The report is a month late but at least it's out. I was not expecting them to keep going with it so when a copy turned up at home—I put myself on the distribution list from the beginning so I could track delivery times through the post—I was quite shocked and it sparked an anxiety spike; I had to have a womb shower then I hopped naked into bed with the light off and electric blanket on.

In mid-March this year I had a tooth extracted. It was a back molar. The filling had chipped a while back and decay had set in. It was either enduring 180 minutes in three sessions to possibly save it, or having it yanked, a 20 minute procedure, and accepting the loss of a tooth.So I chose to yank it. It was one of the more discomforting medical interventions I've experienced.
