Awfully Pretty

Everything still hurts. I have swollen jaws, I look fat, I can’t chew, and I can’t fully open my mouth. I had a dental surgery last Saturday, thus removing two out of four impacted teeth. I don’t know how it would have felt if they removed all four at once. I’m in a quite fragile state so the preparations took long and the oral surgeon decided to take things slowly. Luckily all four teeth still didn’t have roots so the procedures would be easier. But, everything still hurts! I didn’t go to school yesterday because I had fever and it was really hard to open my mouth. I went to school today but couldn’t perform a lot of the tasks assigned to me. Good thing my classmates and teachers were supportive. But I hope I get to sing in our music class by next week. I want to be able to speak a little more comfortably by the time Friday comes.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s choir auditions too, but I know I won’t be able to do it. It’s crazy to wish for everything to be all healed up by tomorrow. Maybe I’ll be a bit better, but I don’t think I could sing well tomorrow. Oh well.
