Number 5 is Alive!

June 14, 2008 · 18 Comments

Happy Saturday, folks. I feel compelled to write a quick post because I haven’t posted very much this week. See, they found a small tumor in my mouth and it was removed on Thursday morning. I’ve been pretty much completely stressing out about it since I found out and I won’t have the results of the biopsy back until Monday, June 16th. So, everyone please keep me in your thoughts/prayers. Right now I’m pretty high on pain pills and I’ve got a ragged hole in the roof of my mouth…it was “cauterized” closed, so no stitches to remove later, which is nice. However Terry tells me he can see the roots of some of my teeth on the inside…kinda freaky, huh? No, I will spare you those pictures. My mouth was even charred black in a few places where they’d burned it (on purpose). Most of the char is gone now, which, the surgery nurses assured me is normal.

Right now Terry is nursing me back to health with soup, cream of wheat, and lots of ice cream.

I’ve never smoked a day in my life so the chances of it being malignant are pretty slim, but obviously I’m frightened. Also, we’ve got a two week trip to Disneyworld (planned & paid for) in less than a month, so I really hope this gaping hole in my mouth is healed up.

Hugs to all. Will try and post more tomorrow…definatly some cute pug pictures to come. Please pray for me and keep me in your thoughts.

    Bless you…and your mouth-OUCH! Be careful on the pain meds-not to do further injury to yourself. You are most definitely in my thoughts and prayers!

    Hey, blogging is not what’s important right now, so no need to apologize. I know you are probably freaking yourself out right about now but try to stay positive. I had a cancer scare about 10 years ago and had to go thru the whole agonizing process. It’s nerve wrecking and bad for the soul but in the end it could be nothing. Thankfully my tumor was not cancerous. I’ll pray your tumor isn’t either. Hang in there and if you need to vent just email me.
