Last Thursday I had dental impressions done. My throat had been swollen for a few days but I didn’t think much of it. When they did the impressions they scraped up the back of my lower jaw gums where I had my wisdom teeth removed. They hurt a little through the weekend but by Monday I could barely chew on that side of my mouth. Now my mouth is all swollen and hurts so freakin bad.

The dentist called me in some antibiotics. I’ll pick them up in a few and hope for the best. The antibiotics should take care of my throat too. We’re guessing my throat was infected and then got into my gums? This marks my third major mouth infection since June. Time to take out the tonsils? Mom says yes; I’d rather not. Especially because I wanted to try and go to Mexico in January.
