Day 6 – Hospital Visit

The day started slowly, as Trudy’s tooth ache was bothering he again. She got this tooth ache on the Friday before we left for vacation. We cancelled the two dives we had planned this morning, and went to look for a dentist on the Island. Today is a State Holiday, and everything is closed until Monday, so we came back to our unit to make a call to our dentist in Canada. They indicated that it was most likely an abscessed tooth and it was infected. They recommended that she get some antibiotics and take some pain killers. So off to the Hospital we went. The Hospital was not busy and we were seen relatively quickly; the doctor prescribed the required antibiotics and told us where we would find the only open pharmacy on the island. It was open for one hour, from 11 to 12, and we arrived at 11:30. After we got the drugs we had some lunch and then headed back to our unit to watch some of the US Open tennis. The afternoon also involved a nap for both of us; Trudy has not been sleeping well so she needed it, and I don’t have a excuse, but hey, I am on vacation.
