Having been absent for some time, I've come back to catch up and found that I can't even go back far enough to read everyone's pages that I missed. So that's caused me to rethink my friends list and do some trimming. So if you dissapear from my f-list, it's nothing personal, just space-saving.

I was given some antibiotics by the dentist when I first went to her but I was a bad boy and kept forgetting to take them. So four days after my tooth comes out I'm still in pain and can't work out why. Gaia has a look and says it looks infected. I ( Read more... )
