Argh! I have an infection in one of my sockets. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what's wrong. Over the last few days I've had some quite nasty pain in my bottom left gum and cheek (despite the fact that the stitches came out of my cheeks days ago), and now some swelling that's visible from the outside. You'd think all this would be over by now! I'm taking lots of anti-inflammatories, chewing on the other side, rinsing with salt water and hoping for the best. God damn crappy pissy immune system.
On the plus side, I am back at taekwondo training and am doing everything except sparring with few ill effects. My jaw is generally achy after training, but it's not too bad.

did your cheek eventually find its way to freedom again or is this shit stuck like this forever?

Tooth extraction means pain to me! I have very little tolerance with pain. I remember when I was a kid, I would often avoid going near a dental clinic. Thankfully, I outgrew my phobia and now enjoy visiting the clinics of the highly skilled Greenville, SC dentists. I've actually befriended the nicest dentists in Greenville, SC who helped me overcome my fears and debunked the dental myths.
Anyway, Hope you will feel better soon!
