DAY 219 - Day 122 in Recovery Paradise

I had gotten used to posting to my blog when ailments were affecting me more severely than they do now.

At my last check-up, my ENT specialist declared that all down my throat continues to look "clean and clear." Good news indeed.

However, I have a good-sized sore on my tongue. My doctor says it is from biting it in my sleep and recommends a trip to the dentist to get a mouth protector, custom-made. My throat is also sore, and my doctor has me chewing on a vitamin E tab daily to help fix it. It seems to be getting better. I still get tired very easily. I feel compelled to take a couple of naps during the day.

I start back to work part-time on Monday, from 8:00 until noon. As my job involves using the phone all day, my biggest concern is my throat and being able to talk.

I had a fabulous Christmas and a great New Year's, with much to be thankful for and a strong desire for 2009 to be better than 2008.
