Another slow track mile today, first 800m I ran with Steve Everett. Face is a bit more evened out today, still hurts and looks really funny. One of my friends told me I didn't look like me, and I can see what she means. (Yes, both faces in the new profile picture are me.) What a 'before and after' picture... eeek! (DST 45)

That is too funny! It looks like you are blowing your cheeks out but that they went farther than is possible! haha Cute "before" pic BTW. If I see you around and don't recognize you, feel free to say hi! lol (You know, only some people could take this...some of the track girls would have quit and started crying if I wrote this to them! :))

Ruth, which pic is the one after your teeth were removed? "JK" Nice job even trying to run. When I had mine out, I played in a basketball game about 2 hours later. This was pretty stupid, ended up getting dry sockets, OUCH!! Hey, take care of yourself, I'll see you at a club run.

I hope you are feeling better

Mik'L, you make me laugh far too much for my own comfort - STOP IT! It makes my face hurt more... :(

Mike - Ouch. I think I'm offended at that first statement - you've seen me normal more than once! Hahahaha. You need to stop making me laugh, too. :)

Ruth

While others are telling their experiences of wisdome teeth I might as well throw mine in too! The pain pills they gave me made me really sick so I started throwing up really bad. Picture that..throwing up with a very sore and NUMB mouth and stitches. well they dont mesh very well...and then I started healing up and a week later got an infection and one side puffed back up again worst then before. So in my Senior Prom pictures I look like half a chickmunk!!

Ruth I went to bed late again last night. What is it? We most hang out a lot and changed sleeping habits or something. I don't really feel better to day but I hope to still go for a running.
