I personally never wanted my birthday celebrated for a day, forget a week. But I recall friends who wanted a whole week of celebrating their birthday with expensive dinners out, vacations, and going to clubs with bottle service.

Is that a thing with people in our generation? I’m 46 and was always so grossed out by the concept of a “birthday week/month” depending on who was celebrating!

I’ve had lower (mandible?) tori or I guess torus as I have them in both sides for as long as I can remember.

I swear when I am sick sometimes one or both will enlarge and then shrink. I know it’s essentially a bone, so that doesn’t make sense. Maybe my tongue is swollen when I’m sick? But I’ve always felt my mouth was overwhelmed when sick with anything from a basic cold to a sinus infection.

Also, my dentist has mentioned Tori surgery as I am also a grinder with severe TMJ. That just seems like a nightmare to me; I’ve had an implant and a few root canals, wisdom tooth removal but tori surgery seems horrifically painful and costly.

Thanks in advance!
