not lockjaw, at least
2011-May-03, Tuesday 07:47 pmI can't remember if I have blogged about it yet, but I'm without health insurance again. The MN Care system requires reapplying each year, filling out the same large packet of questions about me and other people in the house. I didn't know, and I didn't have photocopies of the paperwork from last year. The re-application got buried and forgotten during the last few stressful months, so I got dropped from the system back in January.
Now, something is wrong with my mouth area. It started last night (correction: it started Saturday but started hurting late Sunday. my days are messed up, sorry.), but it's worse tonight. The inside of my cheeks are swollen and very tender, but I can't see any obvious wound. The left side is much worse than the right. There is tension pain along both jawlines from hinge to mid-jaw, mostly on the left, plus sometimes a tooth or two. I feel like I have a slight fever, but the thermometer says I have normal temperature.
If it's any worse tomorrow morning, I'll try to find a cheap doctor clinic to visit.
I had plans for this weekend to do stuff (both the Quaker plant sale and the Living Green expo) that I usually miss because of the mandatory attendance at the work fundraiser. Because our fundraiser was early for 2011, I'll get to do both events this year.
Yuck, I hope I'm not getting sick.
