Rough Rough Time.

Im not gonna lie, its been a rough few  of days. Ive been battling thrush in my mouth and throat for 2 months now. We have tried everything. Im just now finished a pack of high dose antibiotics which has helped eliminate 99.9% of it. Wooohooo!! I say 99.9 as it left a giant HOLE in my toung. So now we are tying to et that healed. Its so bad I could likey pierce it at this point and not notice. lol. Too bad it s not placed properly for it.

My other issues causeing problems is throat from radiation, blistered bottoms of my feet, and my very very very badly blistered lips. The radiation has caused my throat to be raw and to feel like there is a golf ball stuck in it at all times. So here is a mini run down-

Throat- I have a wash that helps numb. Only lasts so long. This will just be a time thing. It is getting better. Which is awesome!!

Feet- Blistered top and bottom. This is due to the Zelberoft. Its a side effectt. It feels as if Im constantly walking on hard gravel road. So that just plain hurts. There is nothing to be done about it. It just plain sucks.

Toung- This is due to the thrush. Apparently if bad enough the thrush eats your young. Go figure. It is healing just very slowly. And obviously causes eating issues.

Lips- This is the fun one! My lips are entirely blistered and raw. This is brought from My new friend Zelberoft. So I would have been fine had I not listened to my doc on how to fix it. DO NOT use petroleum jelly ever. It actually makes the issue worse. Guess what Mrs. Schmit awas using faithfully?? Freaking petroleum jelly!!!!!!  So  I woke up yesterday/early this morning in tears my lips were on fire. I then looked up the proper way to care for such an issue. Basic Neosporin. NEOSPORIN!!! that is so easy. Once I put it on my lips the world changed. The pain went away. We are finally on the steps to recovery of my poor poor face.

Now all this said.....this has lead to eating issues. (obviously) I cannot currently eat anything salty as it burns my lips too too badly. You would be surprised at how many things have the tiniest amount of salt in them. Chocolate pudding for instance. Once my lips get better this will resolve itself thought. (for some crazy reason candy I can get down and actually sooths my throat. Im living off candy.

I also have trouble swallowing due to the radiation. This means day to day Im figuring out what I can and cannot eat. Some days my throat is better than others. Most of the week Ive lived off of protein shakes that are room temp. I can only do room tempo liquids or food. Too cole hurts, too warm same deal. Some days I cant get any food down, others I can. For a day or so I was able to eat plain chese burgers only (well pattie, cheese only) from wends and mc donalds. They were greasy enough they just fell apart then I could handle it. Now due to salt I cannot. Right now, Im able to eat soft tacos with cheese, sour cream, and some chicken. All of which ends up in the smalles bites ever. Taks me forever to eat .

So there you have it. Im ready for normalcy. This girl likes her food. Plus I cant afford the weight loss. So there is my update. My spirits are still high. I just had to get it off my chest. This just SUCKS. Luckily this stuff is just the temporary part. In a few days (now that we know how to properly fix things) These issues will be gone. Even my feet will heal. All I can ask for are some prayers right now to help me get thru the next few days until I can get this small hurdle over with. Thank you.
