I pit that tiny cut in my mouth that really HURTS!

My mouth is just pissing me off lately so I’m here with a lame rant.

First, one of my two remaining wisdom teeth breaks and creates a jagged edge that scrapes the inside of my tongue. It hurt, but I got a temporary filling while I wait for my dentist appt. to just get the wisdom teeth taken out. I thought I was done with the annoying pain, at least until they get taken out.

But then out of nowhere comes this mysterious little cut on the inside of my upper lip. And it grew. And grew a little bit more. Even still, it’s a miniscule little thing in there, but FUCK if it doesn’t hurt like a bitch. It’s slightly swollen so I can’t avoid it. When I talk, when I eat, pretty much when I do anything. God help me if I want to use a spoon. Every day I hope it’ll get better and it ends up just hurting a little bit worse (although I might say that today it hurt as bad as yesterday, which I suppose is better than hurting worse). This cycle’s GOTTA end sometime, right? I hope so.

So why is it that a cut that is a millimeter long can bring so goddamn much pain with it???

Gargle with warm salt water to relieve the pain. Just don’t swallow.

At the drugstore, in the dental care section, you can find oral anaesthetic. You dip a cotton swab in the stuff, hold it on the painful part for a minute, then spit it out. It tastes a little odd, but it won’t hurt for 4 hours. A pretty good deal.

I pit this long thin paper-cutty cut on my thumb. I don’t even remember getting it, but it’s bugging the heck out of me when I use my mouse. And the remnants of this cold sore are still irritated.
