Thursday, 12 February 2009, Pokhara
I have to try to remember what happened this day, because I am writing this now the 28th of February.

I think the only happening of this day really worth to mention is that I went to a dental clinic in Mahendra Pool (Pokhara Centre)
Already in Elounda I had problems with a tooth in the far back of my mouth, which even made me speak sometimes with a slurrrrr.
Being fed up with this already wobbly tooth I went to the dental clinic.
The treatment was very good. First I had to fill in a medical form, and then one of the dentists took me to his treatment room and asked me a lot of questions.
The tooth was already standing loose, so it did not take much effort to take it out.
Lucky enough it did came out, without any complication like breaking or root problems.
They gave me tablets, which I should take for 5 days, 3 a day after every meal.
I was not supposed to eat or drink something for the first 4 hours, but duuuuuuuuuuh no nonsense.
After one hour I was eating my late breakfast with my daily cup of coffee: no problem. I did take a tablet after my lunch and later in the evening after diner, but I noticed I had stomach problems.
So: no more tablets. I HATE tablets. They are supposed to help you, to make you feel better, but so far any kind of tablet I have to take is making me feel shit!!
So, also that experience is now on my list: a visit to the dentist for only 21 Euro!
This was for a consultation (8.50 E), extraction (12.50 Euro) and the tablets (2.50!).
Can’t do that at home!!!
Happy with this tooth out of the way, I can actually chew my food again and my slurry speech is gone!!
Problem solved!!!!
The rest of the day we spend in the garden of Lake View Restaurant, sitting in the sun, reading, writing, relaxing.
Evening diner at teatime and an early night. Rita not feeling too good and both of us maybe still a bit tired from the travelling.
