Ouch…

Ouch…

I got this aching pain in my mouth one day, and the next it was this great big sore – I guess it was a cold sore – on my tongue, near the back.  It hurt so bad that I couldn’t eat or talk.  Pretty much everything I did hurt…  So, for a few days I ate only soft foods… and very little.  I went to the doctor after a few days of agony.  They gave me a cortisone shot and some steroid mouth medicine to take for a few days.  The shot made me feel even worse!  My arms and legs ached.  I couldn’t even get a book off the shelf at the bookstore… It was pathetic, I had to ask Preston for help!  I even had to skip choir at church 🙁

Well, it’s been a few days (over a week), and it feels much better.  It’s not completely healed, but it is a lot better.  A lady at church suggested that the next time I feel one coming on, I should try Lysine.  I’ll have to remember that; I wouldn’t wish that pain on my worst enemy!
