l'm the elephant man

Oral surgery was awful. The kind of stuff nightmares are made of. I have stitches in my mouth that irritate the side of my cheek. I can't eat anything except for applesauce without causing more pain.

I have a huge swelling in my cheek from it that would make small children scream in fear.

Antibiotics, pain med, antimicrobial mouth rinse....

I feel like shit...

and look even worse.

And crying...

just compounded it about five times over.
