And the Sharet Sage Continues...

or is it charret?

Anyway, got xrays on my jaw...no breaks, fractures, anything. Actually, I almost wish the xrays had found something because then there could be a concrete treatment rather than general pain. Med told me that it will take awhile to heal (did Rose say "maybe years?" I sure hope not and will ask again) and they were going to pick me up some meds to help with the pain, but other than that, I get to continue having random pain while chewing, flossing, yawning, opening my mouth wide, etc, until the pain goes away (and from having to open it so much today with the drs and everything, it's still hurting quite a bit). Hopefully I can go back to talking normally afterwards, bc it was brought to my attention by multiple people that I am not talking normally, but rather with a "closed mouth," and it was very visible to Med (and the xray place) that I can't open my mouth very far. Oh well, here goes...just another adventure to add to my blog.

In other news, I was recruited by a fellow Volunteer in my region to write an article for the quarterly newsletter about the life of a new PCV from the "things NOT to do in the first 3 months at site," including having a 104.3 degree fever the day before Installation, drinking salt water for 3 days straight, and falling off a sharet. I'm taking as many other ideas as possible to add to this so that the article isn't just a biography of my life here already, lol.
