[Magdalen] Arrow prayer request

[Marion Thompson]

Gosh no, not by myself.  With our priest and his partner.  Way better 
when two or three are gathered together. :-)

The extraction went well in two stages.  First the loose tooth, then the 
tricker part of the remaining root.  The eye tooth has the longest root 
of them all, did you know?  Anyway, back in my car 25 minutes later, so 
yes, modern efficiency rules.  Currently enjoying tea and shortbread 
cookies.  All is well.

Marion, a pilgrim
