Slept well last night, after falling asleep in a chair. My radiation appointment is at 2:15 PM, today.
Boy, as soon as Sally knows you're awake she wants to get up and get fed. One thing about these Pugs, they love their food!
Used the Gelclair again last night. It really does seem to soothe my mouth. And the prescription was approved, I found out. Now all me need to do is to arrange payment and delivery, as it has to come from a specialty pharmacy.
To be honest, I'm beginning to feel pretty sore from the radiation. The inside of my lip was absolutely on fire last night when I brushed my teeth. Am going to change toothpaste, from mint to something else, as I believe the mint flavor in the Dental Care I use is the culprit. But we don't have any "regular" toothpaste at home, so will have to wait and see.
I used (or tried to) a little "Sweet Baby Ray's" barbecue sauce this past Sunday. SBR's is not a "hot" barbecue sauce, in any way shape or form, but I could not eat it, for the same reason. Yet I had a tamale from Portillo's yesterday, and I could eat that without issue. So I'd suggest that it's a selective issue, at least at this time.
Nancy bought me some Crest today, with just a hint of mint, as far as I can tell, and it has done far better with regard to further irritating the inflamed tissues in my mouth. Thank you, Nancy!
Today's YouTube song goes back a long, long time, to a singer named Al Jolson, known as "The World's Greatest Entertainer" back in his day. As I remember the story, he would perform in a Broadway show, then go to a neighboring establishment and continue singing for another two hours, to all who were there, because he loved to sing!
This one is a sentimental song called Back In Your Own Backyard (here). Jolson's version was first recorded in March of 1928. Today's choice was inspired by the following cartoon, with its quotation from L. Frank Baum, the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, originally published in 1900.
