And the latest wonder is why the fuck no one told me to do something about my teeth.

Will be arranging a dentist first thing tomorrow.

Again with the not really noticing stuff and then the now noticing of stuff that maybe I was vaguely aware of but not to quite the degree of the fully sighted. Focus and clarity and detail hooray....my teeth look shocking.

For those friends who've no doubt been wondering and thoughtfully not saying anything, my actual teeth are quite healthy. They just look disgusting, like Mrs Miggins from the pie shop, as I'm now sure you've all been thinking (you bastards).

They look like the teeth of a heavy smoker with an illicit drug habit, an Elizabethan trying to look like her queen, or a Splodge who's been using clorhexidine mouthwash.

Clorhexidine has been on the daily menu since the nasty Phossy Jaw scare last year. It's the best oral antiseptic you can get, but it stains your teeth something shocking. After a couple of months of watching my teeth turn green, I found a brand that contains something else to counteract the staining and I thought the discolouration had eased somewhat, but I'm now wondering if maybe it's just that my cataracts had taken a turn for the worse.

Anyway, I apologise for any nightmares caused by my smile, promise it will soon be fixed and assure you that I will be solemn, maybe even sullen, until it's done.
