Junior's Jaw

I don't remember the technical term, and Junior took the paper from the ER when he left this morning, but he has an infection in the gland that delivers the saliva into your mouth. The infection developed into a calcium deposit (like a stone) and it is VERY painful. The doctor said it is very rare and is a side effect of being dehydrated. So now he has to drink lots of water. They put him on an antibiotic and lortabs. He should start feeling better in the next day or so. It also wouldn't have gone away on it's own, so it's a good thing I made him go!
