It's Saturday and my bottom jaw is the only part of my face that is still swollen. I couldn't put the ice packs on my face because I have sensitive teeth and gums so the coolness made me cringe. I can talk and there was hardly any bleeding. In fact I only had to change the gauze twice after the initial gauze the miracle doctor, Dr. Tankersley, put on my gums.
that sounds a lot like my recovery, except it took me exactly 1 week to feel "normal" again.

my teeth were sensitive for a while, and i was afraid to chew on my back teeth, but now the only sucky part is food getting stuck in the holes. GROSS!
