A journey into PAIN!

www.vintagepostcards.com
This is a journey of pain and my experiences of the emergency dentist. I am sharing this because the experience has not been a good one and it could have been so different if I had been given the care that I should have been entitled to.

Its 11.pm and I have not long been up because I went to bed at 7pm for a lie down fully clothed!
Have you ever woken up wondering what time it is and wondering too why you still have your clothes on?
I have had the most horrendous time over the past 7 days……Toothache or rather, a massive festering abscess under my back crowned tooth. Not a nice experience and the pain…well nothing can describe it. It is like having an open nerve and some invisible body is twisting a knife slowly round and round, and it does not stop!

I am actually disappointed at the treatment I received from the emergency dentist. I went there on Saturday after not having a good night sleep and having to take 400mg ibuprofen throughout the night, because that is all I had. I think my sister-in-law gave me some paracetamol+ but they didn’t work!
Infact the pain was not as severe then, but my night sleep was not good and by the morning, I decided to go to the emergency dentist. I turned up at 10am expecting to be seen and was told I could not see anyone because I did not have an appointment! I did explain that my toothache was getting worse. Did you have to make an appointment before you had the emergency?
I was not very pleased and came away feeling totally helpless. I cried in the car because the toothache was getting worse and there wasn’t anything I could do about it. I was thinking about the night ahead.
I arrived back at my friend Gillians and I managed to spend the day working on the computer and taking some heavy-duty painkillers from the chemist. Apparently Paramol a mixture of paracetamol plus dihydrocodeine are the strongest that you can buy over the counter. So being a person that never takes tablets or drugs I spent the day taking these and ibuprofen because you are not supposed to take more than 2 tablets every 4 hours of the high strength ones. I dread to think what my insides are like. I had the most horrendous night sleep and the pain became unbearable.

My mouth in the morning had swollen and I looked like a hamster. The swelling had started to extend over the left hand side of my face and it was a big surprise to see myself in the mirror, all swollen and lopsided. I rushed back to the emergency dentist for 9am. The receptionist had told me there was a limit on the amount of patients they took so I had better get there early.
The clocks had just gone back and I think people were still in bed, so I was lucky to be number 6.
“What’s wrong with you?” he said. “Can’t you see the swelling in my face?” I thought, pointing to my slightly over enlarged cheek and jaw. I cried, not much, because I don’t mind dentists but I think it was the simple fact of being able to see someone who might be able to help. I think he thought I was a little bit over emotional and he sent me back into the waiting room after giving me a few deep injections. He did question whether the tooth was the right one because I couldn’t feel anything when he started prodding around. I had taken the pain killers otherwise nobody could have touched that tooth.
“Not a good idea”, he said…. “To take painkillers.” ”It is, if you had toothache like me,” I thought!
He pulled my tooth and sent me away with a large wad of cotton wool mopping up the blood. That was it!
I think I was in shock and I did ask him, “Is that it?” “Should I see my doctor, dentist, whoever?” “If you want “ he said.
Oh, he did suggest I sit in the waiting room until I felt better because I was a bit disorientated and I needed to drive 12 miles home. When I eventually got home I took to my bed and didn’t get up for anything, but the world still turned around me, and people cope!

Monday morning was not good! I had taken a couple of the painkillers to dull the night’s pain. I was definitely off my food and I couldn’t eat anyway.
I was going into Cyberskills, a fantastic place nearby that offers free help in my county for everything that you need to build your business. I could have spent the day in bed but my appointment was booked and I was meeting someone there. Fred, the saviour of all websites and who has helped me build two sites, said, “You look terrible, you ought to go and see your doctor”.
I managed to squeeze an appointment in because I did feel lousy and the receptionist commented on my swollen mouth and the redness that had started to spread down into my chest area.

By the time I got to the surgery at 5pm my throat was hurting and the redness had started to spread out little tentacles of redness further down into my chest area. My face was turning a deeper shade of pink and my chest looked like I was wearing one of those heavy Egyptian necklaces.
The doctor was horrified to know that I had been sent away with nothing and rang the local dental department in the main hospital nearby. He apologetically sent me away with two sets of anti biotic 600mg of ‘lets kill the infection off’ tablets.” If it goes into the bone it could be serious”, he said. “Nice to know!” I thought.
I have to admit that they did work immediately and the redness had calmed down by the morning, but they don’t stop you from feeling unwell. The swelling has reduced dramatically and the redness has paled. I am still off my food, which isn’t a bad thing because I wanted to lose some weight! I don’t feel well and I might have to go back to my very kindly ‘strawberry field’s GP. (He loves growing them!)

Going against the grain too, I will have to finish the course of anti- biotic tablets because I am a healthy everything natural type of person who would love now to be living the simple life somewhere more balanced and untouched by so much consumerism. But that another blog for another day. And if you want to know a little bit more log onto my website at www.heavenfelts.com

Ps. I have diversified a little bit with this blog from my initial content but it made such a big impact on me I had to share the experience!

Time

Today is March 21st, nearly 1 month since I left to go to Austria, and everything seems to have gone to pot since then.

I was blogging every day for over a month before I went to Austria. Since I have returned I seem to have lost momentum and time seems to have flown by even quicker.
There was a website I found by chance a few years ago called, ‘Acceleration of Time.’ I can quite well believe it! I have often thought for a long time that 24 hours is no longer 24 hours. It is more like 12 hours! The trouble is I can no longer find the website, so if anyone knows anything drop me a comment and web address please!

OK, I have a few ideas and I think my blog needs sorting out. I am going to do three different blogs so that I can keep my writing in some kind of order!
I started with a blog about me and my different views and experiences on everything spiritual. I have by no means finished this section because I have a lot of unusual and exciting experiences and philosophies to share.

Another passion that has recently resurfaced is the environment. My main motive is to introduce people to Freedom Fuels International. This innovative self-made company produce a product to reduce emissions and increase MPG on cars. The company has boomed and they are currently operating in 165 countries.
If anyone fancies taking a look then log onto www.aceuwin.myffi.biz If you feel you are a consumer with a conscience and want to protect the world for future generations then this is one for you!
Austria being the fantastic place it is, will also feature prominently in this blog1

My other passion is God! Or anything spiritual. It is going to be slightly different from my initial blog because it will be geared around the Catholic Church.
My friend Sarah who is also, my business partner went mad when I mentioned the Catholic Church.
Fair enough, they have a lot to answer for. Corruption, rape, pillage, greed, domination,control, lies etc!
However, everyone has an opportunity to repent and change!

There are many things I am not sure about and do not agree with. I have never been one for following the crowd. The reason I came back to the Church was I had a good friend who is Catholic and who kept on asking me to meet her there. Therefore, I went! It was as simple as that.
It was also an ideal opportunity to introduce my son Joshua to a sense of community. They do cater for kids and I felt it was a good thing to do for him.

As I am also into exploring many things, I felt it time to go back to the Church and question certain views and rituals. I have started going up to see our priest, a great man who has an open mind. Unlike the priests that I knew as a child Father Ian will listen and discuss issues that I know were once never mentioned or spoken about. So that cannot be bad can it?
A step in the right direction… All this can be read in my Blog for God!

Yesterday was my birthday, the last day of Pisces. I have a Sagittarius rising and a Pisces moon and yes, my feet are not often on the floor.
I am not going to do much more because basically I have just drunk half a bottle of wine with a friend. She came round to wish me well and now I am feeling the effects of the alcohol.
So I am going to bed, happy in the knowledge that tomorrow is another possible blogging day!

Ten years to save the Planet!

I cannot believe that time has flown by so quickly and it is 19 days since I wrote my last blog.

I had forgotten how beautiful Austria is, and the reason I do not go there often is that I never want to come back to the UK.
My mum is Austrian and we have been travelling there ever since I was four years old. My partner Karl is also Austrian and I lived there for nearly 3 years with him, until we decided in 1999 to come back to Britain.
The quality of life I think is vastly superior. There are many differences in the lifestyles and culture and these hidden ‘gems’ of surprise will be covered in my blog. Most of them I feel are positive but there are a few strange rules that could be changed for the better.

I have decided to start a new blog on the environment, to include my travels in Europe, especially Austria.

My experiences of the fantastic Austrian culture will be included in this new blog, http://www.tenyearstosavetheworld.blogspot.com/

There will also be lots of up to date environmental pictures and links where you can go if you want to learn more about the destruction of the planet and the different things you can do to help.

Not to be too dramatic.....BUT this could be US in the future if we dont do something NOW..........!

Going on holiday...to Austria..!

We are just about to set off to catch the boat at Dover. It is 19.10 and we have to be there by 4.00am and I should try and get some sleep before we leave.
We are off to Austria for 12 days so I will not be doing any blogging, unless I can get hold of a computer while I am there.
Our families are from there, so we have lots of people to see.

I might have some interesting things to write when I get back.

Until then!

The next stage to regaining your life....mind, course,psychology,challenge....

How can this course help me?

There is only one science of the mind. How can this course mean so much too so many types of people, of varying ages and different circumstances in life?
The laws of Psychology are the same for everyone. The principles which govern mental reactions are the same for all of us.

It is true that certain, slight, physical changes take place in the brain as we grow older, but the method of our thought process remains constant.
When it comes to the application of the laws of thought, there is a difference. The objectives of youth, middle age and those of advanced years are quite different.

You can secure knowledge of the laws of Psychology, provided you can apply them.

Knowledge which cannot be applied is useless.

This course will be a personal experience for you, and everyone will have a different challenge to overcome.
If you choose to continue, you will be rewarded by the ultimate results. Remember always measure your success in terms of your own growth. Remember on this voyage of discovery you are going to learn how to use your mind, how to make the most of your mental equipment.
If you get all that is for you out of this course, you will not only learn how to acquire and classify facts properly, but also how to use them to your best advantage.

The general aim of further study is to develop the techniques of a higher mental efficiency, of self-management and of dealing with others and with the world.

You will be able to solve personal problems and emotional situations of everyday life.

You will learn to value yourself and encourage all your newfound positive qualities.

You will learn how to make use of them for your best interests and the interests of others.

Are you a pessimist or a fatalist....goals,death,destiny,aspirations,life..

Are you a pessimist or a fatalist?

Both types of person have a limited and distorted view of the universe and of human existence.

They allow themselves to be subject to circumstance and because they have nowhere to go, they never reach their goals.

The pessimist believes that all is wrong with the world. Why aim for anything good and be disappointed?
Anyway, death ends all, so why bother?

The fatalist regards the world as a big machine and all human beings are being turned out from it as a part of its products. We are in the clutch of blind destiny, neither good nor bad and we may as well submit to what destiny has in store for us.
Why go after things and still not get them in the end? We shall get all that is coming to us anyway.

Both views do not nurture any aspirations, only nullify them, and produce a paralysis of despair.
The only remedy for them is to get a more profound view of the universe. They need to develop a positive, constructive philosophy on life.
Some of the great prophets and poets have lived for the basis of humanity and see the universe as a rational place based on law.
Personality is seen as being a precious thing to be developed and a Co-operative effort is part of a constant, ever advancing development towards making this world a better place to live.

All personal aims become valid and worthwhile when we develop this positive attitude towards life.

It becomes the source of all aspirations.

'Most Haunted'....spirit,energy,mediums,dying,time.

I am going to write something about spirit and energy tonight. I have just been watching ‘Most Haunted’, and the team of investigators have been at Tatton Park, near Manchester, England.
Although Tatton has many ghosts, this particular session centres on a man who lived and worked at Tatton, an old Tudor Hall.
He has been seen wandering around the ground floors and is one of the reasons lots of psychic phenomena is happening there on a regular basis.
Apparently, Tom dislikes women and it is usually the females who seem to sense his presence more than others do. The investigators try to goad him into showing himself. They then react with surprise when anything is thrown or moved around.

Why do spirits choose to stay around and not want to move on?

My theories on this might be that the person in question could have been a loner with not many friends or perhaps no relatives that meant anything. Therefore, they might have no reason to move on or nowhere else to go, or so they believe! They become attached to the place that they live.
Tom lived and worked at Tatton and in his mind and reality, he still lives and works there.
He also does not want any intrusion into his life.

The spirit could also be caught up in a cycle of action and reaction. An example of this could be the place that attracts people that choose to end their own lives by jumping off certain cliffs. You will find that certain places have a history of events that attract this cycle of events.
Like attracts like. That I believe, is why certain places attract certain unhappy events!
The person continues to jump off the same cliff and is caught up in a cycle, that they do not know how to end. Other people with the same feelings are drawn to do exactly the same thing at that same place.
It takes the ‘medium’ or someone that can bridge the very thin veil between worlds, to get in touch with the person and show them a way that they can move on.

Another fact might be that the person does not believe that they have died. Life for them still goes on in the same manner and the visitors who happen to come along are just intrusions in his or her life.
Tom will continue to walk the halls of Tatton, until he has a realisation that time has indeed moved on and he too can leave that place.

This subject warrants more discussion and I will elaborate further on my ideas in future blogs.
