cooking up a cold sore

Well, for those who haven't had the pleasure of seeing a Chelsey cold sore, I will tell you about this terrible curse that I have been given. It starts with a little trauma, in this case, a nice WACK to my lip with the back of my hand as it slipped from the sheet as I was helping Jeremy move in bed. YAouch! Canker for a day, then all of a sudden, MY lips swells up and it looks like Will Smith on Hitch after an allergic reaction. Then, it will proceed to spread, upwards and downwards and across my lips until I look like I've had botox treatments. As if that isn't enough, it starts to "weep" which means I'm carrying around a Kleenex and dabbing at my FAT LIP at least 50 times a day so that the OOOZ doesn't drip down my chin. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just giving people something to look at instead of Jeremy's neck brace and give him a break from the stares when we go out into public. I'm such a nice wife right???? ALways happy to help!

p.s. Looks like we'll be holding off on the surgery for the time being...hopefully forever! Jeremy just needs to heal without his bone shifting out of place and then the course is straight for recovery. He's already healing so fast. All I can say is, I'm a BIG fan of Homeopathics and Naturopathics. I'm also a strong believer in Faith and Priesthood blessings. We are so lucky. THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE SENT EMAILS AND MESSAGES> WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT!

I'm so glad about the good news and that the things you are doing with Jeremy are working. Maybe you should learn about homeopathics and natural remedies for your lip. I'm sure it only feels that bad but I do hope you heal fast too.
