All pretty good with the sleeping last night. In the morning did the normal and headed away around 10-15 to my appointment. For those that don't know I was referred to a specialist dentist in Dunedin a year ago. A long time ago I fell of my postie bike and the situation with my mouth related to that. It is ACC but I could have to pay another $1300 still...!!! Bit of a worry driving on the hills to get to the place. No problems in the camper van. Parked on the street at 233 and the place was at 291. Easy walk down the hill. The morning appointment was a consultation to explain the situation and the solution. I have never had any pain or discomfort with it. Seemed a no brainer not to do it when she explained it was a cyst behind my top front teeth. I went back to the camper and read a little and answered a few emails. At 2pm I was back and the procedure started. No pain and she hopes it will be successful. Stitches in my mouth and something like chewing gum over the area. Long list of instructions. The worst no hot drinks and no alcohol for two days! Ice pack hourly. She encouraged me to stay till Tuesday to make sure no problems and get the stitches out before I embark on the next stage of my journey. I am a free agent and don't have to be anywhere so no problem. Like I said I can visit ppl for two hours instead of a flying visit. Not so keen on having so many campervans in such a small space. You will have to wait till tomorrow to see my decision. When I got back I was trying to park my camper in a spot and Glenda said no too close to the next one. She had also sent a txt to see if I was okay. Very caring. So up the other end of the park and being tight she offered to park it for me! I was out of that seat before she could say move over! It was time for me to frozen pea my face! Went down and had a "water" with Glenda and Vicki. They were having a drink. Lovely people. Glenda is from Whangarei, has a very nice camper and also has a Ferrari at home!
Pleased the mouth is finally sorted - love spending money on things like this - NOT - but you have to do what you have to do. I also got a bill from the tax department this morning! Thanks for reading 😊Les mer
