I thought that it was familiar that mouth sores heal quickly. I must tell you that my mouth sore is not healed, but it is healing. It’s flaky, flaking, and flaking off.
I must tell you that when it happened, I did not swear, surprisingly. Instead, I gave a very unflattering, “Ugh!” it was too loud in the silent room that I was in. It was still dark, and I could feel a ‘goose egg’ on my lip, and I thought that I tasted hint of blood for a moment.
My Mom took a picture of my mouth last night and the blister had popped, and it looked bruised:
I snapped this picture right when I woke up this morning:
There was no ‘goose egg’ so it seemed promising to me! As my Mom and I were completing our routine, skin started flaking off and it was brown. That’s so gross! Dried blood! I took this picture just before I ate dinner today:
You can see my Mother’s Day balloon in the background of this picture and you can see the prism in front of my left eye. The inside of my mouth is looking a lot better! It’s actually feeling a lot better! I’ve transitioned fully to my cucumber mint chapstick, even though it’s freezing outside. It will eventually be super warm and unbearable for me.
My Mom is picking up the van for our haircuts tomorrow so it’s ‘go time.’I am already gearing up. Once I leave the house tomorrow, I will not need to leave again until June 18. The past three months have been totally brutal but now they are over and I am relieved that we were able to get it all done!
