Indeed, Joe. 100 % agreed. Thanks to all you guys for the recovery wishes of my jaw. It´s almost getting a little better. The pain is still here but a little weaker than some days before. Those painkillers are a gift of god, but the codein is not letting you drive a vehicle... maybe it is better not driving a car now.

That is good to hear that her Rx medicine is working.
I will say a prayer for both of you.

I will say a prayer for you too.
I wish you a speedy recovery with NO other side effects, infection, exposed nerve endings, etc.
You should not drive when you are on those types of medicines. Stay safe!

... wise decision
LOL!
:thumbup:It may sound strange, but I don't actually mind going to the dentist at all. I've had the same guy for 30-odd years, even the same dental nurse for at least 25, and when I go to the dentist it's like a social visit, I think I must be their happiest patient, I could fall asleep in that chair!

Good to hear Brian :thumbup: I'm afraid that mine will be retiring soon, and I will have to look round for a new one. Decent dentists seem to be few and far between here.

That's good to hear Brian. Mine had a long-standing partner and the practice ran from two different surgeries, but they divided the practice at the beginning of the year. I'm just hoping I can get a good recommendation for a dentist a bit closer to where I live.

Jack, I read in a recent issue of Sports Illustrated that The World's Strongest Man competition was held in Leeds a couple (?) of weekends ago. I had intended to ask if you and EARL had attended any sessions, but your dental attitude makes it plain to me that you must have been one of the competitors!!!

My wife, daughter and I took a nice drive yesterday to stop at a few breweries and see my good friend Jon Christensen M.S., so he could meet my daughter. A beautiful drive through beautiful country. I knew Jon had a certain piece of damascus laying in his tool box and I asked him if I could take it for a project that I am working on with Johnny Stout, single blade trapper. Here is the piece, it is a leaf feather damascus, it is a complicated pattern and very time consuming, along with some rare cocobolo burl(which was very hard to photograph) that will be used also. Thanks for looking and have a great Sunday.
