2782. Toothache © Bruce Goodman 12 July 2023

Goodness gracious! It wasn’t much. It was just a neighbour popping over and saying that she had to get to the dentist urgently and her car had broken down. Would I mind so much… Well of course you don’t say no to a person with toothache. We got in my car and off we went! The appointment didn’t take a huge amount of time. I sat in the waiting room and read a magazine article about the Prince and Princess of Wales. Stacey (that’s my neighbour) had a tooth abscess and the tooth was extracted without difficulty. On the way home we laughed at her mouth still frozen in a slightly deformed position from the numbing injection. That was when, at the intersection, a car ran the lights and smashed into the passenger side of my car. Now I’ve got to find someone with a car to take me to the funeral.
