Yesterday was rough and I did not even post about my lip! I could feel it healing, but after having MS for 24 years, my body takes a long time to heal from anything!!!
Yesterday, I still had to just put Chapstick on 3/4 of my lips because it was tender and still flaking a little bit. But this morning, I decided to push it a little bit!
I think it was the first two applications today where I blotted my upper lip because it was so painful for the last couple days; but then I decided to bite the bullet and I just smeared chapstick on both of my lips! ‘It hurt so good!’
I called to my mom, that I can normally apply my chapstick because my lips aren’t flaky anymore, it hurts so good! I actually said that as she was in the kitchen, “It hurts so good!”
My Mom actually asked me if I really said, ‘it hurts so good’? I told her,‘yes’ and she continued washing dishes and said almost under her breath, “That’s your father’s line!” And she chuckled. That chuckle warmed my heart!
I responded by calling, “Yes, it is, and I have adopted it! I can hear Daddy saying it, I can actually SEE him sitting at the table in the dining room, saying it!!!
Because my upper lip is no longer flaking away. I can just smear chapstick on the whole lip. The reason that it ‘hurts so good’ is because there is still a slight cut on the inside of my mouth by my teeth. That hurts just a little bit. and so ‘it hurts so good’! But my Mom‘s chuckle warmed my heart because I had so many fond memories that I’ve thought about it since my Mom chuckled this afternoon.
