No beer for me for a little while

I recently had some pain in my teeth so I decided it was time to go to a dentist. The last time I went was back in the late 90's I think, probably 1999 or around that time anyway. I had a rotten tooth which was essentially drilled to the point of only having enamel left and then filled. That tooth has been black for a long time so I figured since the pain was coming from there, it is probably time to have it taken out. I was worried though that the tooth beside it, which looks perfectly fine was a little tender also.

So I go to a dentist and he takes an X-ray and it turns out the black tooth is just fine but the tooth beside it has a massive hole which you can't see because it is hidden by the black tooth. I need a root canal. Great.... Well to make things worse, I have a prescription for two drugs now to clear the bacteria. One of them is Flagyl and I can not have any alcohol with that one. That is not a suggestion, it is a simply fact. I drink alcohol and I will probably be violently sick. So no beer for me for 5 days (prescription time), I will probably just stay off it until after the root canal
The root canal happens next Thursday and that is the night of the ICB meet at the Bull and Castle so I will not be in any shape for that either.

Oh and still no water at my house.

  1. That's awful. I haven't been to a dentist since 1996 so I think a similar day of painful reckoning is on the horizon for me at some point too.

    Just keep looking forward to that next beer and brewday...

  2. Well since I have no water, I am fermenting away for the last week* so I might submit myself for criticism if I am ready for the next ICB meet.




    *with the exception of one sneaky ninja mission to shower in my parents house.

  4. In fairness I have gone longer. It will be more than 5 days anyway as I doubt I will drink again until after the root canal and it might be a few days after that again if there is pain.
