So here starts a recount of my past week of pain, starting from Thanksgiving Weekend.
Thanksgiving Break started out all normal for me. It was a typical R&R sort of vacation and it just meant a couple days off of school work, which was nice. A couple days into the break though, my gums in the far lower right part of my mouth started to swell just a bit. I said to myself, "No worries, it's just another wisdom tooth growing in," and with that, I left it alone.
That Thanksgiving Thursday, that same section of gum surprised me. It grew to twice it's size and soon I couldn't even chew anymore without biting down on it. It was unbelievably unbearable. I couldn't do one of my most favorite things to do in the world, eat! With that, also came the weird mouth postures I had to keep in order for me to actually close my mouth.
It was incredibly frustrating, but at the time, I had no idea what would happen or when anything would happen. It was naive of me to believe that it would just go away. I would soon find all my fears to be met.
