monday january 28

today i had an appointment with my periodontist to get the stitches in my mouth taken out. in my head, i'd built this up as the moment when my mouth would become 'healed,' following my surgery a week and a half ago. it would be as good as new, and i'd be able to eat anything and brush anywhere. in actuality, he snipped the stitches out in approximately two minutes, then told me to keep not brushing down there, and to come back in two weeks. i'm still not sure about what i can eat......
