(no subject)
A week ago today, I went to the doctor's office and was diagnosed with thrush - an infection in my mouth. I had a could before that and then my tongue and throat swelled up. Then the swelling went down and everything in my mouth just hurt. So I manned up (lol) and made an appointment with the doctor. He informed me I hadn't been to the doctor since 2007. Yeah, well, it happens. I don't have insurance and I haven't had any major problems - a cold here or there, but nothing big.
He prescribed these lozenge things that I have to let dissolve in my mouth 4 times a day. What a difference!! Last Wednesday was my first real meal in almost two weeks! I had eaten a little before that, but not a lot because it hurt to eat.
I have to finish out my prescription, which is fine, I don't want this to come back. The doctor said that while there are a few reasons that people get this infection that it was more and likely from my cold and nothing more to worry about. So, yay for that.
I need to get some writing done. There are two anthologies accepting submissions at the end of June/beginning of July. I started one of them, but I'm no where near done. I think I need a writing partner. You know, someone that also writes contemporary fantasy type stuff that we can send stuff back and forth so someone else can look at it and give feedback. Oh, well, I'll keep on muddling through on my own.
For those of you in the US, have a happy and safe Memorial Day. Everyone else have a great day. And to any Veterans that happen to read my blog, thank you and your family for your service and sacrifice.
