Baggy's had a bit of a day again.

Baggy had to get up reasonably early this morning as she had to go to the dentist for an old filling to be replaced. Baggy is not scared of the dentist thankfully, but this morning Hormonal Hannah started on her! The dentist was running nearly half-an-hour late, which didn't help; by the time Baggy went in, she was very anxious. Obviously she was having a local anaesthetic, so clearly the actual filling shouldn't hurt, but that requires an injection in the gum. Baggy is fine with injections. She has a very high pain threshold - well she did anyway! How Hannah did not swear at, or hit the dentist when the needle went in, Clever Bird is not sure. It hurt like hell! Baggy said as much. Apart from one moment, when she felt something and flinched, the process was fine. Job done, Baggy sat up and went most peculiar! She tried to stand up and her legs began to crumple, then she started to shake. She was told to "sit", and given a glucose drink and felt slightly better. When she left, Clever Bird realised that Baggy was still too spaced-out to be driving, so she popped into her posh pack-a-mac shop for a cappuccino.

Shortly after she got home Baggy's physiotherapist arrived to check on Baggy's progress to a) straighten her body and b) actually get her main inner core muscle to do something useful - like work! Baggy had been very good doing her exercises until about a week ago, when she stopped. She had a swollen stomach and Freda Fretter decided that she must be doing something wrong. For once Freda was right to worry, Baggy was doing it wrong and potentially damaging her abs. Baggy has been reshown how to do the exercise and this time, "mustn't try so hard" to do it. The good news was that she could actually connect it for 22-seconds (twice as long as six weeks ago), only another 88 to go then! By the time the physio. left, the anaesthetic was beginning to take over Baggy's entire mouth, so Clever Bird resisted letting Baggy drink hot tea.

Furry Mama decided to make up for yesterday and let Minty Mutt choose a walk. He chose the water meadows. Once again Clever Bird had forgotten yesterday's rain. Mint nearly drowned in his stream! Literally disappeared under water, dumb dog. Then Baggy, once more in her little hippy shoes, realised that the entire path was a fast-flowing, muddy stream!

As Minty couldn't lie down in his stream, he decided that he would lie in the temporary one that was streaming down from the fields instead! Hmmmmm!

The Domestic Goddess despaired. Baggy despaired even more when she realised just how much water she was going to have to walk through. Well done Clever Bird.

But Baggy felt better for being out in sunshine, unlike yesterday when she stayed in a darkened house (curtains shut) with the fire blazing! Mind you, by yesterday evening she was melting from the heat. But she definitely feels a lot more positive today than she did yesterday. Now the anaesthetic is wearing off almost completely and Baggy's mouth is beginning to hurt. Clever Bird is trying to convince Hannah, that that's not surprising and she has nothing to worry about.
