Day 9

You can tell what's been on my mind. I'm still in pain, but I went to the dentist yesterday and he said I'm healing nicely. It hurts so much because he really had to dig to get the upper right tooth out. It's bearable, but hurts to talk. I even decided to take some vacation time this week just so I can feel better. By noon, I'm in big pain. People don't understand that it's hard for me to talk. We take so much for granted when we feel fine.

I did manage to start running again last night though. Only 1.5 miles, but it felt great. It was the only time all day that I didn't think about or feel my mouth pain.
