His cheeks and face look incredibly swollen, even compared to his other recent videos. I know it’s speculated about frequently, but given how noticeably swollen his cheeks have become and how quickly they got that way, it’s very likely that he currently has several dental abscesses growing rapidly which are going to hospitalize him, if he doesn’t have some sort of fatal event in his sleep first.
Given that he’s been in a weird up-and-down depression since Walt died, and drinking heavily at all hours even more so than usual, I’d bet he’s been avoiding Clint too. This could be really bad bros.
If his cheeks look like that in the next video, that should give us confirmation that he’s in for serious trouble.
He will almost certainly develop an abscess at some point, but this ain't it. I mean, just google pics of abscesses tooth facial swelling and compare.
It'll start by looking like he's holding a large marble in his cheek. At that stage the lump is so pronounced and defined you can sometimes tell exactly which tooth it is. From the fucking
outside. It'll have been brewing inside, unseen, for quite some time. But within about 2-7 days of first becoming evident from the outside, it'll take off and start to rapidly balloon. At about golf ball-sized the swelling will really start to spread to the rest of the cheek/jaw. It'll stop looking like he's holding a ball in his cheek and more like just massive, general swelling on that entire side of the face. Like about what you'd expect to see the day after if he got hit in the jaw with a hammer. The swollen cheek will droop from the sheer mass of it. And despite the drooping, the swelling can even cause the eye on the affected side to swell shut.
His cheeks are puffy as fuck, but look nothing like an abscess. Also both of his cheeks are equally puffy. It's incredibly unlikely he developed numerous abscesses in multiple locations on the both upper and lower jaws simultaneously. And I've seen none of that ball-shaped, pronounced inital swelling either.
Is it the fact that his mouth is just generally an abhorrent primordial swamp of well-fed, high-fructose-fueled bacteria that's causing the swelling? Something else altogether? Fuck if I know. But I do know it doesn't look like any abscess I've ever seen. I'm no dentist, but I used to work with homeless/addicts and I've seen this shit a thousand times.
tl;dr: You'll know it when you see it, but he ain't there yet.
