Needle here, needles there. Half face nummmmmmbed... , you can hardly bare.
Open mouth, turn your head.
Swallow sped. squeeze you palms , meditate.
You are doing great! The nurse said.
Chcchchcch. Drilldrildrill. Bzzzzz
4 hand with frightening tools, up above you.
Warm light projecting right on top of you.
Chcchchcch. Bzzzzz. Drilldrildrill.
slowly slowly, swallow still.
Two hours over, - tensed experience...
Smile, you were great, don’t be so serious.
People in war zones, or jungles, lack this treatment,
Take it easy, be thankful and gracious.

HI SWEETHEART ~ Thank GOD for small mercies. Many in the (so called) THIRD WORLD bear pain stoically because they are far away for MEDICAL CARE which we have on the doorstep. I can ring @ 9am and be in and out of the MEDICS and home by 10am all for free NHS ! I support a group called MISSION AVIATION FELLOWSHIP which use CESNARS in Africa and other Countries to get people to hospital in 6 hours for a journey that would take SIX DAYS. Please check ROBERT BURNS "To a Toothache" its a classic ! Love & Hugs & TLC ~ BRIAN
thank u dear Brain, love and hugs
