Wie geht's?
My post on The Purdzilla Show yesterday has had me thinking today as I had that root canal procedure in Palmerston North.
Yes, two hours lying on my back staring at the roof while my endodontist does his thing will do that to me.
In case you missed it - I highlighted a passage where Mrs. Marsh shares some advice to her daughters in Louisa May Alcott's novel Little Women:
Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life becomes a beautiful success, in spite of poverty.
It's a challenge employing your time well in such circumstances which is exactly the point. The assistant asked me what playlist I'd like to listen to so I chose WTWMC - Fresh finds and settled back to think about all the meds I'd been taking for the last 10 days to manage that pesky tooth (Prednisone, Codeine, Amoxicillin, and Panadol).
I also thought about Samantha and Irene, football, school stuff, and a colleague's comment at lunch one day that my words were slurry thanks to being hopped up on Codeine.
When I mentioned it to Jacky, she agreed!! What the...
So, I've appeared as a Codeine addict at school for the last two weeks? Sheesh. I had no idea.
The two hours drifted by, my back got sore, my mouth ended up so numb Jade told me afterwards amidst guffaws that I looked like a stroke victim.
But this morning, my smile was back, no codeine, and I ate my three Weet-bix with cold milk for the first time in two months. Huzzah!!
Love and peace - Wozza
