There is no more pleasant way to stay in Nowra than at the Pleasant Way River Lodge (and I'm not just writing this because it's a pleasant play on words but because we've stayed there several times before) even though it means that I have to stay for some of that time at this place:
Yes, next Friday the skilled hands of the oral and maxillofacial (there's that word again!) surgeon Dr Anthony Oliver will attend to the "surgical removal of tooth or tooth fragment requiring removal of bone", namely tooth 37, which should, if nothing else, finally fix my slack mandible.
and the two nights at the motel, and you're looking at a $1,500 tooth. Some tooth!
And, no doubt, it means I keep my mouth shut for quite some time afterwards which should immeasurably increase the domestic bliss.
