So yeah I just found out that I've spent my whole Christmas holidays with a broken jaw. 
I had two teeth taken out before Christmas and had super problems with the healing, spent a lot of my holidays in and out of hospital and pumped up on morphine.
Everyone thought I was being a pussy from the pain
well...
Yesterday I was in a lot of pain with my tooth area so I checked in the mirror and I had a really sharp piece of tooth or bone or something sticking out.. so me being the curious kitty I was, I pulled at it to see what it was attached to..
I lodged it loose and it was at an angle that it wouldn't go back in and wouldn't come out without being ripped.
So I complained to mum and cried a bit and continued to spit up blood from the socket and from the sharp edges shredding up my tongue and gums.
Then I did the only smart -cough- thing to do I ripped out the entire chunk of tooth-bone stuff and showed everyone with a proud exclamation.
Well mum's boyfriends sister was here at the time and she was a dentist.. she took a look at the 7-8 bits of stuff I ripped out then at the area and explained that the dentist had actually broken my JAW BONE right through. O_O
Long story short, I've had a shattered jaw bone for over a month, yay!

^ That's one of the larger pieces of jaw bone that came out. ;x -holds mouth-
