You may recall that I had some teething problems in Penang a few months back.
I was in a dilemma about what to do - save my tooth at the cost of hundreds, if not thousands, without any guarantee that it would work out... Or remove the troublesome tooth.
I couldn't decide what to do, so I chose to hold out till I saw my favorite dentist in Australia.
So, to cut a long story short, after a couple of consultations with Dr.McKinnon, it was deemed that my tooth was not able to be saved and needed to be extracted - which happened today.
I have grown quite attached to my teeth and this little festering incisor proved difficult to say goodbye to, despite smelling like a rotting corpse in the Amazon jungle.
As I lay on the dentist chair I knew the time had come to let go of my septicemic tooth, and all the attachments it came with.
As Dr.McKinnon struggled to pull the three-rooted tooth from its core, I took deep breaths and said "let go, let go, holding onto this tooth is doing you more harm than good".
So with a few good tugs, my tooth was removed - and so was the septicemic stench.
Until tomorrow remember that the saying "it's better out than in" relates to more than stinky farts.

"better out than in" was my mantra during labour... I swear it helps! xx
