Bashed tooth

Remind me not to eat too much on another great food spread. About a week ago we went to our relatives’ house in Calamba, where my aunt and uncle had a party going on. It was November 1, Sunday, All Saints Day, so there was the usual get together. There was a lot of food spread around, mostly pork and beef dishes - I think one was some kind of pot roast or grilled pork/beef, and one was covered with a sweet light brown sauce. There were also a lot of noodle dishes, the ubiquitous pancit bihon, some creamed vegetables, grilled chicken, and I think chicken barbeque. For dessert and drinks we have layered cupcakes - with yellow lower chiffon layer studded with choco chips and topped with chocolate and some orange zest, and some punch. I got a little bit of everything on my plate then settled on one side to eat.

When I bit into the sweet sauce dish, my tooth snapped hard on something.

At first I thought it was just ordinary hard meat that wasn’t cooked properly. Last Friday though, my tooth felt like it lost most of its…uh…mass.. o.o;; so I was stuck this weekend nursing a bruised tongue and a tooth that felt like it was smashed to pieces. I think I got ill last Friday or Saturday because of the damn tooth. Anyway I can’t eat or drink well last Saturday and sunday because of my tongue - even liquids and rice hurts it. So I settled having a goto diet for those 2 days - rice porridge.

I went to visit the dentist a while ago to get my tooth (my 2nd to the last right molar actually) checked. So it turns out that my tooth was…REALLY smashed in. It was so bad that only a little bit was left. The jagged edges were really poking against my tongue,probably injuring it in the process. The dentist managed to salvage it though, and cautioned me not to eat anything that looks suspicious from now on. o.o;; 

So now I am stuck with a sore tongue. At least the tooth’s not poking it anymore. ;___________;
