Parotitis... Part doo... *chuckles*
Went to the E.N.T. today. Got back a bit ago. He said I have some scarring / trauma in the back where the parotoid gland empties into my mouth from grinding and clinching my teeth. So, I have to wear a mouth guard at night when I sleep. Joy! I have to go back in 6 weeks for a checkup. If it isn’t better by then (the scarring and whatnot) he will prescribe medication to relax me at night to help me sleep, and to keep me from clinching my jaw.

Update: My mouth piece is all ready, and molded for my first night of sleeping with it. Oh, joy. [sarcasm]
