    I'm gonna hav 2 think about it. Won't bore u all by going in2 every detail but I almost died after an anaesthetic 7yrs ago, some allergic reaction. If they could give me a local i'd hav them out 2moro, but I don't think that's possible. get my DRO out of the way 1st, don't want 2 leave my family all my debts, lol :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    They probably won't give a local because your jaw may have to be dislocated so they can get at em...

    I had mine done years ago under a general and when i woke up each edge of my mouth was how can i say split where they had been getting an angle to pull them out.... (Was in a bit of pain for a couple of weeks after that.)

    ok but just ring first to see if you get the same message...u never know the backlog may have cleared....if u can afford the taxi then go cuz at least then you will know one way or another...i think if u can get in it wont be a 7 wk wait....and if they are still closed then u can just concentrate on what u are doing with ndl and u wont be thinking wot if....:):):)


    Good idea. Actually I'm not sure I can afford the taxi this week, so may just try the redial method like you suggested. Our local CABs only tiny, so I understand they're probably rushed off their feet at the moment. But I do prefer the face 2 face sevice they provide. So, we'll see. Think Orville's trying 2 give me nightmares!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
