2 more extractions, tender and considering the two from the other week haven't healed yet I cannot eat either side of my mouth now.

December will be a brilliant weight loss month.

Remember the poem by Pam Ayres... I wish I looked after me teeth.

Well I did, but a poor selection of dentists over the years. The four extractions this month have all been failed crowns. Some not lasting a week. Change of dentist and she said those roots have to go. They will only cause you pain in years to come and there is nothing that can be done with them.

Her father is a consultant maxillofacial surgeon, so I suspect she is lining me up for the suggestion of expensive options once the trauma heals

My consultant maxillofacial surgeon was a dentist before as are several of his team. i'm glad the NHS paid the bill.

I now have the hole back that I drilled through the middle of the bolt. Have got loads of penetrating spray up through the hole into the cavity at the top. letting it soak for a while, then it's going to be loads of heat and trying the left handed thread drill bits which have now arrived too.


How much have I spent on tools to trash trying to fix this? Hoping to move this out of the gripe thread and post a smile later on... hopefully...

knew this would happen... booked in for vascular surgery on 8th Jan.

you cant do vascular surgery till the clot in my heart is away... this requires an MRI.

you cant do vascular surgery till the artery in my ticker has been fixed... this requires me to be off blood thinners for months and then a stent put in.

you cant do vascular surgery till you know if the artery's have been hardened... this requires CAT scans.

you cant do vascular surgery if i'm still on blood thinners....

this is all what i have been told by the leading surgical Mr's.

round and round like being tumbled in a ball.

I have used easyouts with success but they need to be a good brand ( Irwin or similar ) and the secret is not to drill too big a hole in the broken stud or bolt as ( have you have discovered ) there is no metal left to stop easyout forcing the thread into harder contact. This is the dogs dangling bits of antisieze https://www.amazon.com/COP-GRAF-Copp.../dp/B00VM39NC0

social worker turned up at my door unannounced about a care review.. tried to ask him questions about care and he avoided answering every single question. the other person that was supposed to be there never even turned up.. the asswipe got me so annoyed i had to ask him to leave. i said politely "look mate its time you left" his answer was "lets get one thing straight i'm not your fukin mate"... what a charmer.
