monoceros blogsSick again. Always got something going. My tongue is inflamed, and I can barely eat, drink, or talk without experiencing excruciating pain. The doctor couldn't tell if it's an allergic reaction or a viral infection, so I've got two types of liquids to gargle with - one is a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide! - and some medicine to injest. How am I going to teach? How am I going to eat? I wish I had a drip.
I feel like a drip.

Thanks, Tigs! I made beef broth with cheese acini de pepe (little grains of pasta) for lunch and it was yummy. =) I hate not being able to talk!

Posted by: a l at February 14, 2005 7:49 PMthanks DSD and a l, yeah, hydrogen peroxide sounds scary, even if it's only 3%. But doctor's orders!
Tongue impairment is really an inconvenience. No, it's torture. Can't eat, can't talk, can't sleep. Too much pain. Doh!
Hey, we should all meet up when I'm back in Singapore this year. A l, would be great to talk in person!

(glad to see that your tongue seems to be getting better - and classes are still going on. =))
Posted by: a l at February 15, 2005 8:32 PMThanks, fg!
a l, actually the tongue isn't better yet. the medicine gives me temporary respite but I'm still on the low rungs. no choice about the classes though - if I want my students to turn in their work on time, i need to keep teaching them! =)
looking forward to meeting up!
