I didn't know you could do it, but I did it

Yes, I did it, I sprained my jaw. You might wonder how in the world I did that.

Let me take you back to high school...

When I was in high school I needed to get my tonsils out. Well during the surgery they somehow popped my jaw. I don't know how because I was asleep. So from then on my jaw always pops when I open my mouth really wide.

Well about a week ago I was eating and suddenly had this terrible pain on the left side of my jaw. I was hopping it would go away, but it has not, so I went to the doctor. She told me that when someone has an "abnormal" jaw like I do, the ligaments are stretched funny and when I bit I strained them resulting in a sprain.

She recommended a liquid diet or soft foods until it heals but that is really hard. Hopefully it will heal quickly!
