Poor Trinity (sympathy required)

Confessions. I've known I had a tooth abcess for ages. I tried a few weeks ago to get an appointment at my dentist. The next available one was October 7th. So I suffered in silence (well semi-silence) but this weekend it came to a head (literally). My face is swollen and I've got a huge lump on my gum that throbs.
My friend said "Go to the dentist or I'll be cross" ok I thought. I phoned the dentist. Now maybe its me but I don't have a good reputation with receptionists. My dentist used to have the friendliest nicest girl. Now she's a blonde bimbo. Very pretty and very sarky. The only appointment was 11.40. I was pissed meant I had to leave work at 11. I got there and waited and waited....and waited. An hour after my appointment when everyone else had gone In I complained. I was told the other patients had gone in before me because they were private I was NHS. My dentist would see me soon.
I was so pissy. I'd rushed out of work across town, I was in pain and by that time cross.
Anyways I was called in and yes I had a tooth abcess or granuloma and it has to be removed surgically. The dentist was lovely and I'm taking anti-biotics and have to wait at least THREE months for treatment. Bloody NHS.
