Today, I am thankful for soft foods. And ice. And pain killers. Korean style chicken noodle soup. Green tea mochi filled with red bean. xoxo, Puffy Face

I really am more thankful than I let on haha. I just haven't been able to express my thankfulness on here as frequently as I would like. Regardless, today I would like to mention my gratitude for Dentistry From the Heart, an organization that offers free dental care to anyone who comes early enough to their events. Jen and I decided to go to one of their events in Murrieta today to see what they could do for us. We woke up at 4am started out at 4:30am and arrived in Murrieta around 6am. Upon arrival there wasn't a very long line. It was also frigid and I am so so happy I have an emergency blanket in the trunk of my car. Though the line wasn't that long, one of the dentists that was going to donate their skills and time couldn't come, so it took much longer than expected. I was hoping they could help me with my broken tooth, but evidently it needs a crown, which is one thing they don't offer. Instead I had one of my bottom wisdom teeth removed (note that for whatever...

My mouth is on fire. (I'll explain). For the past couple days my wisdom tooth on the lower left side of my mouth has been making a ruckus and I think the surrounding area is infected. I haven't been able to eat much except for the ibuprofen I've been eating like its candy. I'm holding off till next Monday when I have an appointment to get an adjacent tooth extracted because it broke a couple months ago. I think that once that tooth is out of the picture, the wisdom tooth will have less to complain about and I should be fine. Until then though I have been looking up home remedies to fix the infection/toothache and awfulness. Most of what I have read is of the same consensus to swish salt water mixed with cayenne pepper and a lot of garlic. There are also suggestions of taking garlic pills and biting down on garlic. Evidently it has antibiotic-like properties. So needless to say my mouth is on fire and it smells like garlic. Vampires beware! Which brings me to a party...
