So… I get a call from Heidi, I –of course– am studying, and she is very sad. She was crying and telling me that she could not talk. I kept asking her what was wrong, and she could not tell me. I thought one of the babetters got hurt. I said I will be home in a sec. It took me like 10 minutes to get from the library home on my bike. I came as fast as the wind. I come in expecting the worse, and I was relieved to find out that the babetters were safe. Heidi, on the other hand had had some sort of a work related yawning accident where her jaw got stuck open out of its socket. She was in a lot of pain and couldn’t talk or even swallow.
This is what she typed to me because she could not talk:
“My jaw popped out, but now it won’t close. It’s going to break.
I just yawned, like I sometimes do, but it didn’t go back in. it usually pops back in”
It was quite the sight. Heidi could not close her mouth… she looked sad. I took her to the InstaCare and after the obligatory pay or you won’t even see the doctor and two hours of work on her jaw she was fine.
Here are the pictures of the scary event.

The scary part
The fun part
The joyous return to normality.
