As my mother would have said, I'm "in the wars" right now, and feeling well and truly sorry for myself.
It all started the day before yesterday, as I took the Thalys to Paris for a quick break. I'd blocked a few days off my work calendar and felt I could do with cheering up. And where better?
But while on the train I noted with alarm that the dull, almost-there pain behind one of my upper molars was now becoming a lot less dull.
Of couse, once arrived in Paris the excruciating toothache blossomed in all its glory. And it started to absolutely tip it down. Gai Paris is decidedly less so in those circumstances, so I decided to curtail my trip and the very next morning whizzed back to Brussels and found a dentist.
And yes, I've got an abcess. And antibiotics. And overnight, it's swelled up and one side of my face now looks like it belongs to a chipmunk.
All of which I wouldn't mind so much, but I was planning to fly out to Oslo today for the weekend, which now clearly won't happen, as swollen abcesses and cabin pressure are a decidedly bad combination.
Oh, woe is me :-(
Stackars dig..Det ser inte bra ut..Hoppas du snart mår bättre och att vi sees snart...Kram!
