Treatment coming along fine. Most of the swelling has now gone and the only discomfort is the packing in the incision in my gum for drainage.

Should hopefully be done with the draining soon and then get the tooth filled and them I'm good to go.

One slight fly in the ointment. My caring compassionate employers have apparently decided they aren't willing to pay me while I'm being treated so I'm flying home tomorrow - halfway through my treatment. Looks like I'll have to finish my treatment at home. I wouldn't have minded so much but there has been no consultation, no arrangements made for treatment back home, no-one has asked the dentist in Cairo if it's wise to fly home with the job half done and no explanation whatsoever. All I've had is an e-mail with my flight details - nothing else at all. It seems to be a case of "Get him out of there so we don't have to pay him" and I'm left to sort it out by myself.

Methinks it's time to polish up my CV.

Jesus Stan hope you're getting better! Just got reconnected to the world, and i don't remember you looking like that just before i left to go to Holland/SA!

Not very nice to your employers to just dump you, but it doesnt surprise me as i've never had any employers actually look after me!...

Getting a lot better now. Took a pic just now and, as you can see, the swelling is mostly gone.

Just got back from the dentist and he says there's still a bit of infection/swelling so he's given me a temporary filling and another course of antibiotics (ones I can't drink with

).
The next appointment they could give me was 14th April but work called today to ask if I could go off to the North Sea on Friday so I asked the dentist if I could make the appointment a few days later so I could go off for 2 weeks - they've given me an appointment for the 19th now.

As I'm going offshore where I can't drink anyway, it looks like the new antibiotics won't be starting until Friday

He says there's a 70% chance he can save the tooth. Fingers crossed as I've lost enough already.

Aw Stan glad the swelling has gone down, if I was nearer I'd come give you a hug.

The HR woman is ace. She does appear to be genuinely concerned that I get the treatment I require. The Offshore Operations manager on the other hand is being (and always has been) a c***. I get the impression that he couldn't care less if I'm on my last legs, as long as he gets guys offshore, he couldn't care less about their well-being.

As a company, we're overreaching ourselves at the moment. We've taken on more work than we have guys to cover and he's under a lot of pressure from higher up and from clients to cover the work. I can sort of sympathise with the position he's in but I think his manner and attitude are all wrong. If you want people to put themselves out to help you, the last thing you need to be doing is to be treating them badly.

Aww well I'm glad the HR lady is being nicey nice

Boo to the other dude. Poke him with a pooey stick. My vote
