May 4th, 2009 Poland 15th-27th March

Mon; Went to the supermarket for some shopping, bread, milk, butter, yoghurts, orange juice, vodka, things I couldn’t bring with me. I went to the clinic at 3pm, I was there until 9pm the hygienist cleaned my teeth cleaned then Dr Artur opened 4 of the implants. After this I had my teeth whitened, the hygienist kept asking did I have any pain, I said I was ok and wondered why she kept asking me this. After the treatment I was given pain killers, now I know why, it felt like all the nerves in my teeth were on fire I felt sick with the pain. Now I can only eat white food, cheese and milk for 48 hours, I was lucky the supermarket was still open on my way home, to get some.

Tues; My appointment at the clinic wasn’t until 5:30pm so I had a lazy day, bathing, pampering, eating weird bread and white cheese. I arrived at the clinic on time but as usual I waited an hour before being seen to so was there until 7:30pm, I had impressions taken and the 5th implant opened. I made scrambled egg when I got home, yummy after just cheese.

Wed; My appointment was at 9am, I wasn’t there for long , only cleaned my implants today. I went home and went back to bed. It’s cold out and I’m very tired.

Thurs; My appointment was 9am again, again waited about an hour or more, the younger dentist called me in, he re-did  2 fillings I had either side at the top. I went back in the afternoon and had more impressions taken. The guys at the apartment lent me a computer to have in my room, I was well pleased about that. Now I could stay in my room between dental visits and relax. I had a few vodkas in the evening and played on the computer.

Fri; Played on the computer all day, my appointment wasn’t until 6pm. Had my crowns fitted, so was very happy about that, had a few vodkas in the evening , had a nice night.

Sat/Sun; No appointments over the weekend, so relaxed, played on the computer, drank vodka and ate lots of chocolate, yum.

Mon; My appointment was 9am but Dr Artur didn’t arrive until about 10:30 because he’d had to attend a meeting. Had my lower crowns fitted and one made ready for crowning.

Tues; I arrived at the clinic for 10:30, again had to wait. I was seen to by a female surgeon today, she re-filled my back tooth on the lower right. It took 2 hours and I ached all over after, I felt terrible. I had a sandwich in the afternoon and went back to bed.

Wed; Went to the clinic at 12 midday, again waited over an hour, Dr Arturs wife re-filled my back tooth on the lower left, I was dreading another long treatment but she finished it quickly. I returned in the evening and had my last crown fitted.

Thurs; My appointment wasn’t until the evening so had the day to myself, again I waited while others went before me, it was a good job my treatment was finished as by now my patience was wearing very thin, I only had some slight adjustments made which only took a few minutes, admittedly to Dr Arturs surprise, he thought it’d take longer. Did most of my packing in the evening, hate that job, but at least going back with a little less, no food supplies.

Fri; My last day, finished my packing, had a nice bath and got myself ready. My flight wasn’t until the evening, my taxi transfer came at 6:30 and my flight was on time, again no problems, I think I arrive my home about 10:30pm :)
