Four hours later, there are fragments of tooth, gum and blood all over the sink. My tongue feels dry and thick, pressed against the padding where my tooth used to be. But the tooth is out, and my jaw is numb.

There were a few moments when I almost resigned myself to living with a wobbly, rotten tooth hanging halfway out of my mouth for ever. But I pushed through, knowing that if I gave up I’d never pluck up the courage to try again.

Eventually I managed to lever the tooth out with the screwdriver in only three fragments. I call that a success. I promise myself that I will floss twice a day, every single day, from now on. I am never doing that again.

Ignoring the post-surgery mess, I stagger to my bunk and fall head first into it. I’ve spent so long running on pure adrenalin that I’m exhausted.

I’m sure tomorrow my whole face will be covered in bruises, but for now I just want to sleep.
