I am sitting in the Alexandra Hills shopping centre waiting for my dentist to fit me in to repair a tooth.
Over the weekend the filling fell out and has left a jagged edge on the tooth that is ripping my tongue to shreds. So now my tongue is all swollen and I can’t speak properly. Some of the words that come out sound nothing like the word I crafted in my mind. Quite embarrassing really. I am learning very quickly if you fail to speak properly all kinds of bad things happen.
1. You are no longer able to spend hours talking to your wife so you have to watch sport on TV instead.
2. You can’t eat solid foods so you have to be satisfied with MacDonalds instead.
3. You are no longer able to take phone calls from people around the world who want their own special word from God.
4. You can’t speak to the dogs so it is useless taking them for walks.
5. The laceration to the tongue stops me from saying the word – yes – but doesn’t seem to hurt saying no.
Come to think of it – I am going to cancel the Dental appointment immediately – what was I thinking.
