Ouchie!

A few days ago I woke up with the inside of my cheek stuck to my braces (not a totally uncommon occurance), and it really dug in this time, so I've had a lovely sore on the inside of my cheek, and it hurts like hell half the time and just aches the other half. I've been trying to remember to rinse with salt water to help it, and it is getting slightly better... my lymph nodes on that side (which were quite swollen and tender), and starting to decrease in size and painful-ness. The only problem is that I have to go to to orthodontist today (yay, 3.5 hr drive! NOT!) and I'm thinking that having him root around in my mouth is not going to make it feel better. Oh well, maybe he will tell me that I get to have them taken off *fingers and toes crossed!* I don't know now likely that is, but there is nothing wrong with wishful thinking, right?
