Greetings all and excuse me whilst I adapt to the taste of blood in my mouth. Oh and of course let's send the love and kudos to Anna, Shilpa, Jo, Dan and Sarah for taking the time to read my previous post and sharing, liking, loving, commenting. You are all awesome and keep up the wonderful support.
Yesterday I embarked on a journey to remove some wisdom and temporarily turn into a self made vampire. Well, vampire is a bit of a stretch as the only blood I ended up drinking was my own but you get the drift. It was a trip to the dentist to remove a wisdom truth and hmm, let's ham it up a bit shall we.
I arrived a few minutes late. I wasn't aware that the approach to the gravet of Man was forbidden to me. I tallied forth until I approached a place to disembark and placed my steed to a suitable spot of safety. There were a few minutes before the appointed hour ergo I pulled forth a tome of riddles to entertain a concerned mind.
Then the time had come. I stepped forth into the Augustian heat and headed towards the trial of the tooth. A courier had come to deliver some tools of application and I darted into the void. Inside the capacious interior I took my place behind two supplicants awaiting their own ordeal in the following month. The lady presented a smile behind a cloth veil upon her face as well as a tablet of undertaking. Verily, I scribed my name upon the line and was promptly ushered inside by a nurse well insulated by her attire.
The dentist awaited. I espied a herculean syringe loaded with delirium and reclined in leather. Her demeanour of pleasantness and joy did little to allay my alarm when I glanced upon a suitable pair of pliers. My mouth yawned open and the never ending injection pierced the realm of my upper left mandible several times. The effects soon came to pass as numbness replaced the unpleasantness.
With no delay she assaulted the tooth with her removal tool and asked if I was ok. I responded there was some slight discomfort and she took to the great syringe once again before resuming the attack. I prepared for a long battle and yet there was the merest struggle before the fang of wisdom yielded.
Mouth wash and gauze jumped into my maw and I bit down as instructed. She gave me some clear instructions and to my amazement the ordeal wasn't so much an ordeal but a few minutes of inconvenience. However, I tasted blood. Lots of it and it availed me for most of the day until at last it abated. And there endeth a rather over the top account of a trip to the dentist.
Well, I'm now ready to do a lovely young adults course. I'm rather looking forward to that and then tonight it will be all guns blazing on the writing front for Anna will expect results. As always, keep reading.
