Keep Smiling Through...

Another Tenniel illustration, this time from Wonderland, not Looking Glass.

Because I am indeed grinning like the proverbial 😸.

My lovely dentist turns out to have spent two years in the MaxFax dept at Ipswich Hospital, he has lots of experience of this sort of injury.

Last week he taught me how to massage the area round the stitches to enable them to heal, and soften the scar tissue in my lip. And he spoke so highly of the team in Scotland who had treated me. They did such a good job on the emergency repairs that I have not needed expensive crowns [praise the Lord for that!] 

Yesterday he worked on tidying up their work, and rebuilding one part of a tooth to make it more even.

And he did all that without any injections - it was genuinely all very painless [I hate injections]

And the cost came in at just over £100 [it is a private practice too - they're not allowing any new NHS dentists in Norfolk sadly, despite his request to be one] 

I am so grateful - for Dentist Chris and Dr Navinie in Scotland, for Dentist Roshan in Norfolk, and for all the kind wishes and prayers, and messages of support from so many good friends. Thank you all

The grin will still be here after I have moved on to the next task!
