Ow...
On another, more sobering note, I finally(?) got kicked in the jaw with a meia lua tonight. It's not too bad -- nothing seems to be broken and I can open and close my mouth and talk for the most part. I think I was lucky since Brasa caught me just as I was moving away from the kick, so the full force of the meia lua didn't quite get to me.
I sat out for a while, then returned to training, and even made it through the war dance at the end.
It does hurt when I try to bite down on my right (right under the ear). I've iced and taken Advil. I can't chew on that side. Yogurt and soups and smoothies for me in the next few days, I suppose... yikes.

Yikes, Claudine! Did you consider seeing a doctor? I love the new look of your blog by the way.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!

thanks everyone, for the well-wishes... derek, i hafta give you a call soon...
renee, i have insurance, thank goodness. saw the doctor this morning; she didn't seem too concerned - everything seemed completely normal to her. and, i was able to eat and chew normally after day 2.
pinky, thank you! haven't been blogging much, unfortunately - devoting a lot of time to flickr, though...
