A Chipmunk in Pain

Pain.

Its not that fun, really.

Im currently doing everything in my power to ignore the throbbing in my cheeks, the pulsing pain radiating out from the back of my mouth.

Its rather hard.

I didnt sleep well last night.

My mouth hurt, waking me up and causing me to toss and turn when all I wanted to do was close my eyes and feel nothing.

Am I dumb now?

Without my wisdom teeth, how will I think?

When will the pain stop?

They said the third day would be the worst, but they didnt mention when it would get better.

Its the third day.

I want to cry.

I want to sleep and cry and wail and laugh and read and eat and chew and close my eyes and drift off into the land of nod....

But there is pain.

So Im awake.

Pain.
