Third day of antibiotic therapy and tooth continues to pain. Yesterday I phoned to my Dentist Fabrizio Gamba and he told me that it is an inflammation under the artificial tooth I get since 3/4 years. That's why I started a 5 days cycle of Antibiotic and this is also the reason why I'm still in base camp. The pain become strong if I press vertically the tooth  (when I eat the paint become unsupportable) but  during the day the pain is no so bad.....

Today I planned to go to C2 and tomorrow to C3, but as I told I prefer to finish the antibiotic therapy here at base camp. The forecast for next days is also quite bad. 

Here at base camp the life is going as usual and there are always many things to do. The news we get from Kathmandu said that slowly the situation is returning toward the normal life. The democracy process started again and we hope that the King will not influence the decision of the people and the parliament. Also the Maoist has to be invited at the table to discuss their position and find a solution.

Today my Polish friends with whom I'm sharing base camp services and Everest permit reached C2. They will remain there for 2 days and maybe after that period they will attempt to go C3.

Today, for the first time I will show their faces and names.
