First edit day. Spent the morning logging shots into Final Cut Pro, then lunchtime capturing the rushes into the computer. After lunch we started putting shots on the timeline. It all went very smoothly.

Apart from... waking up this morning the low grade toothache I was experiencing yesterday has flared into full blown toothache, the whole nine yards, swollen face, pain etc. Had to bail on the edit around 2pm to make a 3.45pm appointment at my dentist, the first such appointment for some years. Apparently I haven't been for so long that my dentist has retired. Now my dentist is not only younger than me, he looks like I could be his dad. He told me my teeth would be fine if I was about 90. Unfortunately I'm only 45. It's crunch time for my teeth, and that's perhaps a poor choice of words. I have to REALLY take care of them now or lose them. The bone support of my teeth is so bad in certain areas its really touch and go if I'm going to keep them. Wake up call deluxe. Plus I have an abcess on my gum the size of a walnut. Ow.

Limped home and spent the evening bouncing from one dosage of antibiotic and paracetamol to the next. Hopefully it's going to clear up real fast.
