The 19th & 20th; My mouth is becoming a real problem.
The 19th of April. I started my day feeling pretty great, but this evening I am grumbly. Zopiclone finally did its job, so I had a full night of excellent sleep, waking up just an hour before I planned to get up so the Tramadol had time to kick in.
Sunday Brunch and blog post, then we had Grandma round for lunch, which was duck in port and orange sauce, then special chocolate mousse with Cointreau which is the best pudding ever.
When we were finished, I started working on the first part of my special crochet project (I can't say what it is as it's a secret surprise). James came round with the pressure washer and he and Mommy had rather a long chat about his new job and the university, but I wasn't paying a great deal of attention because the pattern I was following was fairly complicated.
I completed that part, then I started on the pig that's next on my list, and now here I am. The reasons I am grumbly are twofold - a) I think we need to ring the dental hospital in the morning as the ulcers on my tongue aren't improving, so steroid injections are going to be the next step, and b) my right foot is still swollen, despite the furosemide. I think I had to take it for at least six days last time, so I'll carry on and keep my fingers crossed, but if it continues or happens again, I'm going to have to start harassing doctors again, and I really don't want to do that. I just want my body to behave completely, no extra problems, just for a little while. Is that so much to ask for?
The 20th of April.
My mouth is becoming a real problem, which seems to ring bells from a year ago. I have three ulcers on the right side of my tongue, and one on the top/left. Up until today, they've not really been sore, but today it is much worse. We rang the dental hospital and I have an appointment for Wednesday, and we did hope they might ring with a cancellation, but unfortunately no such luck, so I'll have top keep quiet, spraying difflam and flixonase and drinking lots.
I had a chiro appointment at 12:15 which I was slightly concerned about, but my back's been okay today. So much so, that I actually haven't had any Tramadol yet. Trine felt around, and it seems that my lower left back/bumcheek just went into spasm on Sunday night for no particular reason. She did a lot of massaging which I had to grit my teeth and deal with, but afterwards, I did feel better. I popped into Black Sheep as there seems to be a weird hiccup about my next appointment.
This afternoon, I have been crocheting the pig snout and ears, and some of the special project too. Little tricky bits! I'm just trying not to move my tongue too much. Grandma has an operation tomorrow, so if the dental hospital ring, I have to just hope it doesn't clash with her in any way.
