So here’s the deal. My mouth is hurting less and less each day, but it really doesn’t seem like the gums are healing over the sockets, at least not on the right lower side. The doctor said that the gums normally heal over in 8-10 days, but tomorrow is day 7 and I can still see the bone. Each day it seems like I can see farther down in the hole, and it’s got me freaked out.

I know that in 6 months this will all be better and I won’t even be thinking about it, but right now I can’t stop. I’m paranoid that it’s not healing the way it should be, so I’m going to call the doctor up tomorrow and see if I can get a checkup. It’s always good to hear someone who knows what they’re talking about say, “Everything is fine. Just give it time.” Hopefully that’s what he’ll say to me.

And if not, hopefully he’ll do something about it so that it DOES heal properly.

Argh.

Moving on from that, tomorrow is Friday, and Friday is a good day. The day will pass quickly too, because I have to go down to NUWC for a meeting for most of the morning. Then it’s the afternoon, and then it’s the weekend!

And wow, September is over. Absolutely incredible how quickly time is passing.
