Ellie and I went out early and it was raining a little and much cooler. It is the first time for months that I have had socks and wellies on.  I have been wearing walking sandals for our walks and hate moving to wearing shoes and boots !

I had an appointment for the dentist to take impressions for a new plate after the last tooth I had out. I found the dentist to be less than helpful. She took the impressions, told me I needed another 2 appointments but didn’t tell me what for. When I asked, “one for the fitting, the next for adjustments” So, I then asked her about the crown that maxillofacial said I needed taking out. “Oh do you wan it out?”!!! I asked her opinion and she said “I guess so”. For goodness sake maxillofacial sent her the X rays and instructions!!!! I know that was months and months ago but it is on my notes and the treatment I am having now I paid for a year ago! I am now getting the distinct impression  they no longer want NHS patients. Even maxillofacial say they only work Mondays now.

My friend’s husband had his dentist phone him to say his appointment was cancelled and when asking when he could make a new one he was told he couldn’t as they are no longer keeping their NHS patients!! So, I keep going while I can still get some treatment without going private.
