Well, I've almost survived the weekend without needing to be repacked.  As long as I take ibuprofin around the clock, the pain really is minimal now.  Yesterday, I was a little more adventerous with my meals as opposed to the jello and mashed potatoes I have been eating all week.   I think I may have over did it a little bit though because by the end of last night, my jaw was pretty sore.  I'm going to ask when I go in tomorrow, but I think they put stitches in my cheeks on both sides.  I do know that my wisdom teeth were causing me to "chew" on my cheeks, so maybe they needed stitches?

  I wish I could open my mouth farther to be able to brush my teeth more thoroughly because man does my breath taste/smell terrible!
