The tooth fairy is really a bitch
House in Makrinitsa
The cafe
May got off to a bumpy start. The countryside is nice (I went to Makrinitsa, a beautiful village on Mt Pilio to celebrate the coming of May) but not so nice when you have a toothache that could kill ten fat horses and there is not a pharmacist’s in sight. I had never experienced this kind of pain before. It was a whole new level. I actually wondered if death is underestimated as a cure of pain. At one point I told my son to call his father if he sees me pass out.
Anyway, it was a crappy trip. I am glad to be back and in the dentist’s chair again. Dentists are good. Countryside is bad.
I have nice pictures to show you but not nice feelings to share. Actually, it would be good to stay in bed all day, moaning and pretending the outside world has disappeared in a haze of painkillers and antibiotics. If you have sent me an email, I am going to write soon, because I need some friendship and a shoulder to drool on.

Dental pain is my kryptonite and to me, supersedes any other kind of physical pain including fire.
Feel better soon.

Sorry to hear you had a rotten weekend. Hopefully the painkillers and antibiotics will do the trick.

You poor thing! I hope you got some good pills/drugs to take the pain away. Drugs are good
I finally put a new scarybaby post up - that should give you a giggle.

OH
You should always take some drugs with you on holiday, sister 
Seriously.
I bet you were never so delighted to see a dentist. Hope you manage to get some of that wallowing in bed “done”, you deserve it.

What humor! You pulled out some good writing stops which I was enjoying along with my laughter! I’ve been a bit serious, pouty these days so this, your dental cure, was a splendid mental cure for me. Now here’s to your fast and full recovery to feistiness!

You poor girl. I know what that pain feels like and it is not pretty. It is right up there with a severe ear infection. There is nothing you can do to even try and help yourself…other than hit yourself in the head with a hammer…lol
Hope you are feeling better now that you are home.
Your photos are beautiful for sure.
Hugs,

Outings are not fun when you are in pain. Hope all is better and sorry I have not stopped to say hello.
I say- Yank it out!

toothaches are the worst kind of pain. And earaches are really horrible too. both kind of pains make you want to rip your own head off, and they’re so hard to make better! Glad you’re over that toothy horror!

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this!
I have only ever had minor toothaches: I can’t image one like you had: I hope it’s completely better now!!
E-mail me when you get a spare moment,

Hope you are feeling better already. I love your photos; especially the first one. Reading about your toothache problem reminds me of my own - I need an operation on my wisdom teeth.
