Throbbing tooth

It has been a busy few days in the run up to my return to work. I had to get a "return to work" line because my sickness line lasted for another week so I needed clearance to come back early! I also went to the dentist for my root canal treatment, met up with Jamie, and spent time with Davie doing errands such as buying him trainers and a new watch. 

I met up with Jamie on Tuesday because he had a day off so he came through to Glasgow and we went for a walk and had a bite of lunch in The Bothy in Ruthven Lane. It was so great to see him and we chatted away; it was nice to be just the two of us. He stayed on to come to the hill-walking AGM in the evening, and David came too. It was at The Ivory this year and the meal was very nice. There was a lounge area round the back of the bar where James chaired the meeting in his usual efficient manner and I took the minutes for him. The highlight was as usual Andy's slideshow about the past year's outings, it brought back good memories. 

The good news about my dental treatment yesterday is that it was painless and speedy. The dentist even numbed my mouth with some sort of gel first so that I didn't feel the injection. To my surprise he told me that the treatment is complete so my memories of having to go back week after week are clearly very out of date. The bad news is that I woke up this morning with the tooth very sore, throbbing away! The dentist did say that it might twinge a bit before settling down, so I hope that's all it is. Funny that it wasn't sore yesterday though; maybe the anaesthetic hadn't completely worn off.
