Yesterday it was sunny enough for us nekkids to be outside and Äiti was lounging in the hammock.
Actually, Seppo was on serious nursing duty as Äiti had a tooth removed. She persuaded her dentist this brute - the tooth, not the dentist - really had to go as she is convinced that an old cavity in it set of the ear infection which was the beginning of her dizziness problems. She's had a few problems since childhood but they have worsened in the last few years big time and she does all sorts of things to try to make herself better. The tooth has been irritating her for ages and yesterday it parted company with her jaw, courtesy of a dentist whom she thinks is wonderful (Petri Ollila, Plusterveys Oulu). Thirty years ago she had to be pinned down in the chair as her wisdom teeth were wrenched from her jaw, leaving roots still embedded.
As the dentist was gently but firmly withdrawing the tooth he proudly announced 'It's a boy!' to which Äiti responded 'How do you know?''Because of the denticles.' he said and Äiti had to giggle.
She is very pleased and remarkably pain free. We are of course helping her and making sure that the soups she is making herself are yummy enough by tasting them first.
We also told her that there's no money under her pillow from the tooth fairy as Sampo liked it's fairy wings too much and wanted to have them for himself; the tooth fairy refused to come to the house!
