Well many of you have heard me bitching about my teeth hurting lately. I thought it was because my wisdom teeth were crowding them together but apparently one of them was infected (yeah I didn't even know that could happen) anyways I apparently don't have as much bone in the front of my jaw as most people do, so the swelling from the infection is really extreme. I had to have a root canal today, which was really fun, and I go back on Wednesday to have it finished. They left my tooth open in case there is any fluid that needs to drain out of my face. It's pretty gruesome. However, I am feeling better than I was and I have a ton of vicodin. I will be home and missing class for the rest of the week though, which I really can't afford to be doing but there isn't much else I can do. My face is about double in size, I can barely open my left eye, and I am pretty hopped up on pain killers. I feel bad, because my mom also had surgery today. She had skin cancer again, on her eyebrow and they had to remove it. That said, they think her eyebrow is going to look much better than they previously anticipated. So we are both home sick together. Which is nice in that we get to chill together, I miss her.
