Well, that medicine for my mouth problems (after the pulled tooth) is really starting to work (the mouthwash especially), and as a result, I got five whole hours of sleep. Since that darn got pulled a week ago I’ve only been able to get three hours of sleep at night. I imagine as the antibiotic starts to work I’ll feel even better. How did you sleep?

@ambiepam 11pm till 4 am - not bad. I used to be plagued with dental abscesses which were agony Of course they always happened at weekends. Once it started up just as I was about to board a plane from India to somewhere via Moscow - 14 hours including Moscow layover. I didn’t know how I was going to cope not being able to walk about or use any of my usual coping strategies. I was close to tears with the throbbing when we boarded and I leaned my head on the window beside me which was vibrating and should have scared me - the pain instantly abated when the vibrations got stronger as the engines started to roar. I stayed that way for six hours till we touched down in the snow in Moscow and the tooth behaved itself thereafter.

@AmbiePam another trick is to play opera through headphones very loudly, especially Italian bel canto in which the sopranos go so high only dogs and toothache sufferers can hear it.

Not well, I woke up at 1 and 3 and sleep was intermittent after that. I managed to get enough though that I am not tired this morning. I wish I could stop waking up early. I really should go to bed later, but I am Soo ready for bed by 10 most nights. It just isn't that exciting hanging around here.

I'm about to head for bed. That's great that you got a decent sleep at last. I hope it continues.
