Dvorak 24 May 1:03pm, 24 May 2025 28,795 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak I have toothache currently, varying from discomfort to AAAAARGH! Think it's coming from a broken incisor which has been sitting harmlessly for a while. It's also making my nose sore and radiating to my sinus. I did not sleep well. Not necessarily expecting any particular practical input, I just felt like putting it down somewhere. Yes, I know, seeing a dentist is the normal course of action. It's been a while since I've visited.

Dvorak 25 May 1:41pm, 25 May 2025 28,797 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Pain continued, barely slept, face started to swell, called NHS 111. Got an emergency appointment and am now less one tooth stump and hopefully the accompanying infection. Still considerable discomfort but should now be on the downswing. Encouraged dental nurse to do C25K and come to parkrun. It came up as she asked what I would have been doing - the answer being running a 12K race starting half an hour from then.
