housework all done for the day
little peeved at dentist yesterday. they've refered me to the dental hospital as couldnt get me numb for long enough to do all the work last time was there. Just over a month ago, was agreed they could do quarter mouth at a time if necessary, couple of weeks ago they managed quarter of the mouth and had booked me in for today. Arranged for someone to be with me (dentists requested) spoke with the DSN regarding 'normal dental numbing injection' which the dentist last time didn't want to do as raises blood glucose, DSN said yes will raise the blood glucose levels but can deal with that if necessary via correctional insulin dose. was told friday (after they closed) that they wanted to refer to the dental hospital (appt was supposed to be 9:30 this morning). spoke with them yesterday morning told today would of been last appt then refered. just after 2pm dentist called he wasn't willing to do the treatment as hard to numb, alongside injections didn't last long enough to do all the work, i said to him DSN has given advice to me on how to correct any raised sugar levels (if it was necessary) and it was my decision if wanted to live with slightly elevated levels for a day or two. Very unhappy with the refusal of them to continue treatment. I've to call them back in a MONTHS time if I haven't had an appt from the hospital and they will 'try chase it up'. The dental hospital when i asked them originally said they were unable to take on any new patients as had no space.
The upside of the dental hospital although further to travel can actually get there via public transport
3 hours roughly public transport vs 2 hours (cant get public transport there and back in same day for the dentist refusing to continue treatment)
The downside no appt date, unsure if they will even see me. Currently a couple of the other teeth that were going to be extracted today are sore had hoped that would be done at the very least.
