You're a light in an increasingly grey world Joe, and I hope you know that, while you may not think you are, you're inspiring. You've encouraged me, and plenty plenty more people to just "do a bit more". Put some fucking welly in. Go well, keep your head down ✌
Thank you, Joe, great to hear about your "holidays" - sounds not very relaxing. Thanks again, for your "How things are" video. Stay safe and sane! 🇺🇦 Перемоги та миру всім українцям! 🇺🇦
Great to see you in good form. Thanks for doing what you do. RIP Robert Deegan, condolences to his family , friends and brothers in arms. Stay safe Mac.
Hello Joe, very good job the scan revealed those abscesses, they are really bad for you! Just had a dental episode myself, infected roots, incredibly painful, one rear upper molar, and also wisdom tooth extracted with some difficulty! Anyway, stay safe out there, Joe, glad One Sock enjoyed himself in Kyiv too! Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦🔱
Root canals sinister as the Vatican . . the dead tooth without immune cells inside transmit bacteria in bloodstream . . one of main cause of build up in arteries & heart issues early death . . where in the hell do you start with these intentional 'hamstrings' on human race . . so fucking sinister beyond almost believe
Glad you've turned up again, as it's so busy now,was becoming a little concerned now your special forces and that. Ukrainian dentists are the best, I took the wife in for some work we'd been planning for ages,decided while I'm here I'll have a check up. Thanks to UK dentistry ,it turned out I needed a rebuild pretty urgently. Crowns were ripped off ,crowns were added fillings were removed new "safe"ones put in. All to top spec with equipment my dentist in the UK probably dreams about, the price was also something to dream about. Huge industry in medical tourism to come here, better than any around in the E.U. promo done, where's my cheque?
A lovely vacation in Kyiv, finally! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA So glad you made it through that fever dream Joe! Manifestation for safety, health, and liberation SOON.
My comment got other about root canals got depleted like 50% tears in the rain YT current scatter fire AI paranoid we planning Guy Fawkes night UK . . just trying to lengthen useless eaters lives
Hey mate. Aussie here. Inactive ADF but also a Dentist. Love the way you sign off you videos. On the dental, it sounds like you may have devitalised the nerves of some of your upper teeth when you landed after jumping during the mortar fire. Knocking them like that can create internal inflammation. Swelling is part of the inflammatory process, but given the dental pulp (nerve) is housed inside a root that can't itself swell, the 'nerve tissue' dies from excessive swelling as it is crushed against the solid internal root canal shape. Sometimes when this occurs people never notice it. I've come across it many times, simply by being thorough when examining patients. It can be verified by testing the vitality of each tooth. We look for a response (Y/N) and the nature of the response. A reliable method is a stick/pellet of decanted CO2...CO2 test. There are other tests that are easier and quicker (less reliable) but also others that are much more technical/costly (very reliable). Anyway, when that dead tissue leaks out of the root into the bony area surrounding it, it often creates an immune response. Typically this is what people feel or describe as an 'abscess' but it's usually just inflammed, healthy bone If it's been there for ages, the body will secure the area by forming a barrier around the dead tissue to stop it spreading (cordon it off). This is an actual abscess. If that increases in size, it hurts like fk as the root behaves like a shock absorber with the pointy part jamming into the abscess. Sometimes, to relieve the pressure, the body will form a tube that connects the internal abscess with the skin over the bone on the jaw the root is in. It might then burst and drain all that crud into the mouth. Relieving the pressure, relieves the pain (doesn't solve the problem) and often people chug along with these things unawares. Sometimes though, those abscesses turn into cysts and even then, sometimes those cysts grow and grow without people knowing. I would like a dollar for everyone that's pissed and moaned about whether it was worth taking X-Rays. I've found a few cases like yours where poor patients were oblivious to some hardcore issues bubbling away. One dude need bone from his hip to replace the jaw bone he'd lost from cysts. It sounds like you got looked after properly. I think they probably gave you something more than novacaine. That's just local anaesthetic to make you numb. They might have given you some Midazolam...in which case (enjoy!) It's pretty common in oral surgery. It should say on your medical records. If it was only the local anaesthetic then that's a pretty adverse reaction that should be documented. Lets say, that isn't what's meant to happen. Definitely get some follow-up on those teeth to check for vitality. It's possible those palatal cysts had nothing to do with front tooth trauma but it is a super common occurrence and outcome (hence why the long post). I hope it all goes well for you. Give those invaders a pasting. Love the 12G? beside the chair...legit old school.
Swampy has definitely done a hell of a lot for the sappers, engineers and Ukraine. His reputation was one of the first I heard about from people who came to Ukraine.
Hey Joe. Have you and your colleagues been using pagers over the past 2 and a half years? If so, we’re you concerned after the exploding pagers in Lebanon recently?
The David Lynch reference really brings your experience in Kyiv to life. Glad you still have a sense of humor after all that. I would be feeling very sorry for myself, lol. Well done. ❤️💙💛
in teens got beat up, knocked out, arrested, made bail, that night my bff took me blackeyed to Eraserhead for cheering up, yeah lynch feverdream hi OneSock hi Joe💙🇺🇦💛
knowledge is power n will help keep you safe, very pleased to learn you are 'doing CPD' Just please dont ever become complacent. There's a stage with learning any skill where u learn enough to be comfortable n often become complacent, get tempted to start to take more risks, cut corners etc, esp if there's pressure. Jeez! what a mind-bending experience that musta been! sounds akin to when i took shrooms that one time XD Thankfully you didnt get hit and they sorted out the cyst infection before it sapped your strength n immunity
Holy cow, an abscess like that should be intensely painful. Good you got lucky and it was noticed so you could get it taken care of. Sweating out an Eraserhead experience must have been wild.
You are just so clever and incredibly brave. We need about a 100,000 more, just like you. Oh and the brave part...yeah i was referring to the dentist. 😂Stay safe! ✌️❤ Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦
Yo Big mac I'm in the legion just joined, god bless ur work, this world is real!! For people that think it's not! Any tips I what unit to join currently on my 4 week boot camp. I was a dog handler for British army
Dentists in always wake up fighting joe I know how u feel buddy stay relatively safe bud send them ruskies a bunch of unlivening flowers from me cheers big mac 👍 😀 😂
Ok that sucks, I have to call the dentist today to make an appointment and you tell me this horror. Well hope it will be all better. It is real bad for your heart to let such things just go. So if you have any even slightest issues you definitely need antibiotics. I had a friend who had heart surgery cuz of endocarditis.

“Coming off novocaine in a lightning storm during a missile attack”
There’s a song in there, somewhere
Add something about a train and a cheating wife and it’d be a damn fine country song.
I accept your challenge. Here is what Claude AI came up with
Verse 1:
Mac's jaw still numb, novocaine fading
Thunder rolls as sirens start blaring
Flashes in the sky, but not just lightning
Missiles arc, a deadly dance frightening
Chorus:
Caught between nature's fury and man's
Mac stumbles forward, gun in hand
Senses dulled but duty calls
As rain and rockets start to fall
Verse 2:
Mind hazy, trying to focus
Storm and battle both ferocious
Mac pushes on through mud and haze
Determined in these chaotic days
(Repeat Chorus)

Good to see you well
Good on you Joe. You're definitely a premier Briton, a truly courageous British guy.

Flower of Unlife, Love that XD
Always good to see your videos. Keep up the good work.
Welcome back, Joe! Stay safe and have a good one!
Damn that sounded like quite the trip you'd only ever hear video game or movie characters have.
A real life David Lynch fever dream. You dont do anything by halves.
Thank you good sir. I hate first day back at work. Can't imagine how you feel.
Good to meet you mate! Stay strong, keep up the good work!! 💪
Good to hear all is well. Keep going. We're watching. Stay safe. 👍🏻🇬🇧
