Hurrah!! Saw a maxillofacial surgeon - dig me hey?! - this morning and looks like worst fears were ill-founded. Trigeminal neuralgia dismissed pretty much out of court and indeed, rather embarassingly, the upshot of all this is that I might have to have a mouth guard fitted to stop me damaging my teeth from grinding them in my sleep. Who said life as a broker was stress free. Sad really. Anyhow, I was ill....honestly....I'm on antibiotics and havn't had a drink for well over a week which is something of a record for me. All I can say is my brush with death has embued me with fresh vigour and enthusiasm. Roll on 2004. You're not going to know what hit you!
