So some of you may remember a few months ago I blogged about how half a tooth had fallen out.

Well last week the pain became stupid but I managed to get over it.

My fear of dentists and all things toothy means I haven't done anything about it.

This morning the pain has made me throw up.

So I took a brave step and headed to the dentist. I have an appointment at 2pm.

I am fucking petrified. And I mean it quite literally. I cannot stop shaking. I'm on the verge of tears. The pain is excruciating and I just want to curl up in bed and call my mother.

I've never made a dentist appointment on my own and never been to see one on my own.

Today I will... I hope!

Now, if you'll excuse me I still have some vomit to bring up and need to take quite a number of different tablets just to get me out the door.
