My tooth extraction continues to give me problems and is taking an age to heal. It is 2 weeks now and I still can't eat or chew normal meals or drink hot liquids. Given that I was half-murdered in the process, I suppose it is not surprising. The good news is I am losing weight, but I yearn for something crunchy rather than the sloppy meals I have been having for the last 2 weeks. I have held back from doing my usual volunteering and going to the gym, but yesterday I decided I would do a shift at the foodbank charity shop on the till. I thought that would be a gentle reintroduction into some semblance of normality. I took a bottle of water with me, as it was a very warm day. On my arrival, the manageress was very kind and offered me a hot drink which I obviously declined. I'd not been there 20 minutes, when I decided to take a sip of water. But because I have not drank directly out of a bottle since the tooth was extracted, I found it difficult to get my mouth round the bottle top and managed in front of a shop full of customers to spill a good deal of it all down my chin and clothes. Thankfully it dried off fairly quickly, so I didn't look a complete idiot for the entire shift. Note to self.....drink out of a glass next time.

Oh dear! I hope you will soon be able to eat and drink normally again. As for losing weight, I don't know how much you wanted to lose weight before this happened, but that certainly was not the way you imagined to achieve it.
Good job it was only water and not fruit juice or something that would leave stains on your clothes.
Sorry that I have not called round in a while Addy but I am even sorrier to hear of your dental issue. Maybe you could profit from this awful experience by creating a guide book for fatties "Dieting With Addy". STEP ONE: Bring on a dental emergency. STEP TWO Get an apprentice dentist to address the problem. STEP THREE Get thin. You won't want to eat anything much for a month! STEP FOUR Check yourself in the mirror and see how much you have shrunk. STEP FIVE Send a "thank you" card to Dr Addy with a bankmote or two inside.
If you start to gain weight in the following month or two, simply repeat.
