umm....no


I arsed around in the morning getting ready and checking emails and so on...so was a little late leaving house. Got to bus stop in time to see my bus sailing away. Next one due in 30 mins.

I was standing there gradually wilting in the heat. yesterday was ridiculously hot. I seriously don't cope with heat and sun well. My body's ability to regulate temperature is completely fucked up and my eczema is currently very flared. I couldn't stand there for hal an hour in that heat so I went back home with a vague notion of going back out in half an hour. Trouble is that wuold still have left me sitting on buses for two hours during the hottest part of the day. I'd struggled with the heat the day before when I went into uni and am still sore from the flare it provoked. So...I ended up phoning the dentist and re arranging. Soonest they can fit me in is 1st week in July. I expressed concern about the recent dental abcess but she said if I ran into any trouble with it to phone and they can post me anti-biotics registered post to get to me the next day.

I was glad I made the decision not to go. I stayed in my cool house. When I eventually went out to walk the dog around 6pm (he'd had a morning walk before it got really hot) it was still too hot for me and I had a blinding headache by the time I got down the hill to Ma's. The bus journey at the height of the midday sun would have been a real problem I think. Even in my cool house, the heat rash was almost unbearable.

This wasn't dental phobia stopping me, because they werent going to do anything anyway. It was just to assess the treatment needed and arrange for the work to be done.
