Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

For the last week and a half the left side of my face, my ear, throat and teeth have REALLY hurt.  

Went to the doctors on Wednesday who told me he couldn't see anything wrong - yeah right. 

Went for an emergency appointment with my fab dentist this morning, who gave me an Xray.  

The problem is threefold my wisdom teeth are growing yet again (this has been ongoing for 15 years and they are still not through!).  I have an abcess and lots of manky bits under a tooth that my dentist tells me can only be cured by having it pulled (we both agree this would not be a good idea as it's near the front of my mouth) so instead, I will have 3 appointments for root canal work - urgh!!!  

Finally the Xray showed that my sinuses are VERY BADLY infected, so I have a weeks worth of double strength antibiotics.  
My doctor told me 2 days ago I DID not have a sinus infection - arghhhhhhh.  
I haven't slept properly for a week.  
Anyhoo at least I know now what the problem is.

We've had a ton of snow this morning, so I've been to collect Twiglet from school early, he is in his PJs already :)

Righto, will be back later, after the tablets have kicked in.  

Send healing vibes folks.

Keep warm and safe

Twiggy x

    Oh my word, poor poor you! I have only had this once and I never want it again! Sinus infections cause the worst pain imaginable. Root canal work isn't as bad as the sinus pain though, just unpleasant. I had 4 root canals before finally losing the tooth and having an implant. I wouldn't reccomend it, I'm still paying for it 2 and a half years later!! I am sending lots of healing vibes, make sure you get plenty of rest! Liz

    I sympathize whole heartedly with your ailment.There is nothing more painful and miserable than tooth ache and face pain.I do hope you feel better soon,wrap up and keep warm,look after yourself.

    Oh you poor thing! I do sympathise having gone through the agony of an abcess myself and then the root canal bit.
    Good news that the tooth can be saved though.Think you should 'sack' your doc!
    Sending LOTS of healing thoughts your way.

    o poor you how horrible - am sending lots of healing vibes. i hate the dentist, and last year had a root canal which i was dreading - i have to say it was nowhere near as bad as i feared - no pain, just a bit uncomfortable and chronic jaw ache!

    Oh poor you Twiggy. I've an abcess too, and awaiting a hospital appointment to have a buccal (?) flap lifted, with potential root work afterwards. If I get my way the tooth'll be coming out! I am sending you healing vibes, and hope you feel better in yourself very soon. x

Well I"ve finally taken the plunge...................

After drooling over many blogs for months now I've decided to finally take the plunge, so here is my new dawn.
Hence the beautiful sunrise above as photographed by Mr Twiggy through our bedroom window. (I'm sure I'll be including a lot of his pics, hope he doesn't expect commision).

I love crafting and have ever since I was a little girl and spent hours playing with my mums button tin (which I've inherited) and amused my self by making dresses for my dollies - even though I'd cut their hair and given them green felt tip highlights. Punk Tiny Tears - I should have marketed this idea !!

Hope you enjoy my work as much as I've enjoyed others who are a daily inspiration to me.

I hope to share favourite blogs, books and anything and everything with you, so enough off my blithering on and watch this space...............................................
