Oh bliss, oh rapture

desperanceSo I had this tooth extracted on Tuesday, as you know if you've been playing along; and it's kinda been doing the opposite of healing, getting more and more painful as the days progressed.
So this morning, I phoned the surgery, 'cos I didn't want to get caught in the middle of the weekend with a real problem.
Come straight back, they said. Right now.
So I did that; and my dearly beloved Tim has diagnosed a "dry socket" infection; irrigated the site with something nasty; packed the socket with even nastier black fibrous stuff that fills my mouth with a petrochemical odour and has to stay there until it resorbs, disintegrates or frays away, which could be anything up to a week; and put me on antibiotics.
Metronidazole, to be specific.
Which means I can't drink.
At all.
For the course plus 48hrs: which neatly encompasses Karen's visit, our trip to Cambridge, and - if I stay the whole course - FantasyCon too.
Oblige me by imagining just how thrilled I am. This is pretty much my Most Social Week Ever, and I am forbidden alcohol.
*weeps*
