stormdogI cancelled plans this weekend because my mouth hurts and I'm avoiding eating anything solid and I felt off because my diet is so different from normal. I had a birthday party on Friday and was going to spend the rest of the weekend with Erik and go to the pride parade. I feel bad for missing both of those things, in part because I really wanted to go. But this mouth thing sucks.
I'm going to call the doctor who did the extraction and ask for a follow up. This makes me incredibly anxious because I already feel like I'm being an annoyance when the original care was free and I had to follow up with him once already. I feel like I'll look like I'm expecting him to just be my free dentist. But the info I found online suggests that a typical dentist might not know how to fix the issue, and they might have to refer to me to a dental surgeon, and who knows how long that will take while I'm eating mac and cheese and yogurt and having trouble talking and swallowing.
I don't know if it's true, but I *feel* like I've been anxious for the past two weeks solid.
