Monday blues


Monday 23rd May 2022


Well unfortunately it was one of those days where I didn't get much done. We tried to get to see a dentist in Portsmouth today but didn't get anywhere. I was considering my friend hammering it out because that's the extremes that some people had to resort to during the crazy times in this part of the world. But fortunately, I got an appointment booked for Thursday morning in my next port of call, yey! £80 non refundable deposit to confirm my appointment and I'm hoping that my travel insurance will reimburse me. But today I was just trying to stay in the moment, painful though it may be.


I spent the day pulling and pushing a blanket over me trying to figure out if I was hot or cold. My taste buds have disappeared so my diet of yoghurt and soup has a simple stomach lining. I know, this is not the kind of travel blog you expected, and I can assure you it's one I want to change soon, but in the meantime, I am reporting 'live' from a couch in Portsmouth. Tomorrow I travel by train to Kent.

You have my sympathy. Today l had root treatment part 3. I had been in agony for three weeks before l decided l could no longer handle the pain. I delayed the visits to the dentists because of fear of the final costs. Indeed, they have been eye watering!
