I got the appointments for today (hooray!!). The dentist filled the tooth temporarily. I'll have to phone there again, to get it properly fixed, at 31st July so that I can get a new appointment for OCTOBER!! Unbelievable... But the dentist (a "dental hygienist", actually) was very dedicated to her work; she explained me everything and talked and talked but it was all good, cause finally some one really took time to think what I could do about the fact that taking so much medication makes my mouth So dry that my teeth break all the time!! I'll start by using a certain liquid three times a week before going to bed cause nights are the worst for the mouth.
Even the gynaecologist gave me a new medication to use with the old ones. The two helpful doctors at the same day got me absolutely stunned: I got help!! Still I'm wondering why they didn't do this, like, a year ago...?
After coming from one doctor and waiting for another I sat and read in a park that I happened to find nearby. When I was leaving, a woman sitting next to me on the bench asked me if spoke Finnish and if I knew what the name for the dandelion's fluffy white seed-thingy was in Finnish. I didn't know. The woman spoke perfect Finnish, and said that "I mean, the Finns have names for everything". I don't know wheter that's true or not, in comparinson to other languages. Interesting. I almost wanted to ask where the woman was from if she wasn't Finnish but I didn't. I walked away. It was too hot and sunny but suddenly I was happy. I even walked on the sunny side of the road voluntarily for a while, and my steps seemed to be light and faster. It was a strange feeling; being alone and happy. I hope I'll get more of those moments.
At the evening I hung out with
pauliinan. As always, that was nice even though the things we generally talk about aren't. Afterwards I almost walked onto the arms of *whaddayacallthese-blood-thirsty-officers-who-hunt-you-down-when-you-don't-have-a-subway-ticket* in the subway... I already entered the train, saw it full of the blue uniforms and calmly walked out again... "A bit" humiliating. They didn't run for me.;)
Oh, and because of the rent-raising renovation they are doing for the outside walls of the apartment building, my only window and balkony door are plastic wrapped now - during the hottest days for about two years in Finland. Needless to say, I'm melting in here. And no, I can't open anything in here to get any air. I try not to think about it too much, though, cause then I start to panic: a small plastic-shut one-room apartment, veeery hot, no fresh air, no oxygen... Aaaaa!! I can feel the weight on my chest all the time. I don't know how hot this will get tomorrow but I'm guessing it'll be impossible to be inside. I already shower with cold water. Luckily I don't have to spend many days here for now; only until Thursday when my medication will arrive at the pharmacy here.
