In good news, today I successfully ate pizza for lunch. I had no idea I could actually chew it. (I mean, so, it sorta hurt by the time I was done, but that's what aspirin's for, yeah?) I ate a real dinner last night, too. There is no scale in my house, but I would be interested to weigh myself...I'm pretty sure I've lost weight over this weekend by living on spoonfuls of applesauce & mugs of soup. Quick, gimme a burger or something.
In bad news, I went to see the gentlemanly old dental surgeon today* & he said I either have an infection or a hematoma, neither of which is pretty. (Though neither are exactly life-threatening, either.) I'm on antibiotics, & I just really want the swelling to go awaaaaay.
[*He met me & ushered me into the room & said, "So you're alive? Good, good! I like it when my patients survive."]
In other news (hush, yes, I have a life besides my mutilated mouth), I was the student rep for the Writing Center today at frosh orientation. We had a group of parents first & then a group of students. It came out during introductions that I was among other things a drama major. When Dean Loh stopped talking & the parents rambled about to the booths to ask questions, a father made a beeline for me, began to ask about drama since his daughter wants to declare a drama major, & pretty much monopolized my time until they all left. I didn't talk about the WC to one person. Which I, of course, find hilarious.
