Pain
so, I have TMJ. the cartilidge in my jaw slides out of place due to clenching/grinding in my sleep.
to alleviate the pain from that I sleep with a bite splint.
however one of my molars has actually been receding over the years (official diagnosis: I have too much cheek) and now wearing my bite splint helps my jaw feel better but all of the pressure is put on my gums where that molar used to stick up. and that hurts an awful lot as well.
=/ I'm so sad.
In other news this is the last week of Marching Band. Normally I'd be excited to have it over... knowing I'd be doing the same in another year. (what? 279 days until Band Camp '10?) but now, it's just a little bittersweet.
Band Banquet's rescheduling makes me a little sad, as Brian can't make it up for the 10th. he's still going to visit me the weekend of the 20th though, which is cool. I'm really excited for his visit. we're making waffles. and watching hockey. and probably playing WoW.
And Nikki is going to be my date to Banquet now. =B
I'M SO LUCKY =D
