The fillings I got a week ago led to the tissue behind my bottom back molars swelling. The dentists aren't exactly sure what caused this to happen, but the pain is getting to me. I take advil, and sometimes it dulls the pain. I can't eat anything that involves chewing (hello soup, ice cream, milkshakes, and mashed potatoes), and cannot speak for long periods of time (actually this is a blessing for some people). But jesus christ now it's all I can think of. I get up to try and start packing only to sit down while slightly miserable. I was told that all I can do is take advil, begin brushing the tissue so it hardens up, and gargle warm salt water. Fortunately my fillings were sanded a bit to correct my bite which means if I fully clench my teeth I won't bite the tissue. There's a good chance that's the problem, but due to my few days here I can't go back to the dentist past Friday morning. It's really fantastic, living off ramen before I even move in. Saying this pain is why I won't be productive is a bad excuse, but it is making me miserable, particularly for someone who eats alot. I really don't want to pack, organize my writing notes (I've written far more than I have realized over the past three or four years).

And yeah. I'm going to college. Crap.

Really this is frustrating. It huuuuuuurts. I was at a birthday party, and couldn't even eat the cake. It was homemade angel food cake with freshly made whipped cream! (I ate alot of whipped cream)
