Strange trip to the dentist

[simont]

Started off oddly, because as I walked towards the dental surgery I could hear loud drilling noises, and for a moment that seemed perfectly natural until it occurred to me that I probably shouldn't expect to hear a dental drill that loudly when I was still twenty metres from the building in which it was being used. Turned out to be the shop next door being renovated with more conventional power tools. Just as well, I think.

Then, after the dentist finished with me, I walked back out into the reception area and found drswirly standing at the counter; it turned out he had the appointment two after mine, which was an odd coincidence.

I'm now back at home; my brain feels a bit better than it did yesterday (although I still didn't sleep well) but now my body is falling apart excitingly. Sigh. Still, at least that means I might play half-decent NetHack today…

Hi. We've got a number of mutual friends and one of them (hoiho) just pointed me in your direction because I've just been diagnosed with coeliac disease.

I hope you don't mind if I friend you - I don't expect to be friended back, but if I can get some tips on managing stuff by reading you I'll be happy!

Of course, if you don't want me friending me just say the word and I'll shuffle off again, ready to drown my sorrows in gluten-free beer...

Sure, I've no objection to you friending me. (I've never quite understood why anyone thinks they could reasonably object; if friending someone were intended to have consent from the friendee then the LJ people would have coded it that way!)

I don't talk too much about coeliac disease in here, simply because there aren't all that many particularly interesting things to say about it, but you're welcome to any you can find :-)
