A few days ago I was eating some jelly beans, not being particularly careful, and I chomped the inside of my cheek. Normally this isn't a problem because it's in an out-of-the-way spot between the upper and lower jaw or at least toward the front of my mouth. This time however I bit with my back teeth and, I'm finding out, harder than I thought.
Instead of easing up and letting my mouth heal, I continued with eating as usual thinking the nagging discomfort would go away. Well here it is three days later and my mouth still hurts. I've been subsisting on Slim-Fast and milk-and-yogurt since yesterday in the hopes that limited jaw movement will speed the healing process. Hopefully this pain I feel is just because it's an open and irritated sore (which is what it feels like when I dare to poke my tongue anywhere near there). I think so, if it was infected and festering I think I'd be in a lot more pain.
On the way over to Mom's for the weekend we passed a Burger King and the flame-grilled smell just infiltrated the car even through the closed windows. Then earlier tonight I had this sudden craving for buttery garlic bread. And all I get is vanilla Slim-Fast, liquid yogurt and a lot of stale spit.
And recommeowndations?

Hmmm. I;'d go with salt water, or if you can stand the chewing, with some nice salty fries.
Tom Atkins here. Just wanted to thank you for stopping in. Hopefully when stuff settles down early this fall, I'll get back to my blogging.
