Throwback Thursday: 1
I couldn’t help but join in on Throwback Thursday. I decided to go way back, back to when I was fresh out of the womb, that way I’ll have more material to expose each Thursday. I’m only 20, I don’t know how much throw backing I can do! So here’s a picture of me in the hospital and of me and my mother when I was 5 days old. I was a bald baby. Next Thursday I’ll be exposing how fat I was. I used to eat anything, even chitterlings. YUCK!
Newborn me!

I’m All Better!
After becoming frustrated with the pain last night, I decided to poke around the area that was the most sore with a peroxide soaked q-tip. I began to massage it with the q-tip as you would massage a baby when they’re teething. Low and behold, I massaged my gum away from my tooth and the pain decreased almost instantly. I put my tongue up there after massaging and something felt funny. I could feel more of my tooth and loose gum on the side. I guess the reason why I couldn’t move my mouth is because the part that was sore and attached to my tooth was also attached to a part of my mouth that has to move, plus the pain. I’m going to see if I can explain this in a diagram. The throbbing gum piece is small but of course the pain traveled all around the right side of my mouth.
My throat stopped hurting, it was a little sore when I woke up, so were my gums where the detachment took place but nothing’s throbbing anymore and I can open my mouth! I’m sipping on tea to soothe my throat and I’ll continue gargling and rinsing with peroxide and warm salt water to make sure my raw gums heal.
I’m so happy, I knew there was nothing wrong with my tooth! I’m going to still make that appointment June 11th because it’s been a while since I’ve been to the dentist.

Favorite Grocery
What are some of your favorite grocery stores and why?
I’d have to say that my favorites are Krogers and Walmart. I love Krogers because when entering the store I’m greeted with the smell of fresh baked goods. I usually go there because of their bakery, meats, and Kroger brand pop tarts. Name brand Pop Tarts for some reason are nasty, they had to have changed their recipe. But anyway at Kroger they pay special attention to items being fresh in the bakery and produce section. Everything is always neat, they take pride in their grocery store. I love that I can always get a deal on almost anything even gas with my Kroger Plus card.
Walmart. I love Walmart because I can find just about anything that I need there. The prices are always low, but they don’t really take pride in their store. Produce isn’t as fresh and the bakery isn’t as inviting as Kroger. At Walmart I stock up on frozen goods, toiletries, and bread from the “oops I baked too much” cart. I really don’t like buying meat there as their selection is minimal and they seem to have a contract with Tyson. Tyson meats are really expensive. I hate having to pay $5+ for 8 flimsy little chicken strips that shrink when cooked.
I still haven’t found my favorite place to shop for meat down here. I haven’t had to do too much meat shopping here since I stock up on meat when I visit home and bring it down here in a cooler. When I buy meat back at home, I shop at Strack and Van Til. I like them too, they are a nice clean store with fair prices.
Feel free to share your favorite grocery stores and why they are your favorite.

Tooth S.O.S
Here I am trying to eat a bowl of Ramen Noodles. I can hardly open my mouth or chew. It hurts to swallow. I feel feverish, but I don’t think I have a temp. I told myself I was gonna wait and see if my toothache gets better before calling the dentist today, but I see it’s not gonna get any better. So I called and they aren’t accepting any new patients until June 11th. The receptionist recommended I go through the phone book to look for dentists who will give discounts and accept cash. I don’t have a phone book (never need them) so I’m searching online. I’ve never had a toothache before so this is kicking my butt. I’ve been researching toothaches and wisdom teeth online and it seems I have trismus aka “Lock Jaw”. I was thinking to myself before I even looked anything up “man I have lock jaw or something“. Me and Tylenol Extra Strength have become best friends. I feel bad about popping pills the way I am. I get uneasy about taking medicine that isn’t cough syrup, I’m scared I may poison myself. I tried some Orajel stuff and it’s just a mess. It tastes bad and gets on everything but the throbbing gums (tongue, throat, lips). I think my next meal will be a vanilla shake, something fattening that I don’t have to chew 
.
When a wisdom tooth is partially erupted, food and bacteria collect under the gum causing a local infection. This may result in bad breath, pain, swelling and trismus (inability to open the mouth fully). The infection can spread to involve the cheek and neck. Once the initial episode occurs, each subsequent attack becomes more frequent and more severe. - To Keep or Not to Keep
I seriously don’t think anything’s wrong with my tooth, it’s growing in straight, minimal gum around it. I keep looking at it, no cavity. I think what’s actually causing the pain is the gum next to it that connects to my cheek near my throat. It feels a bit raw when I poke it with my tongue. Maybe I hit it with my toothbrush 2 days ago? I am heavy on the toothbrush. *hopes the tooth isn’t the problem*
