Moral of the story: when experienced people give you advice, listen to it.

I went to work for most of the day yesterday (Thurs) and felt good, but this morning woke up with a very sore throat and swollen/sore gums. I have to confess, I did some things I shouldn't have - like I flossed my teeth yesterday and like I haven't been good about using the mouthwash regularly. Ahhhh - why don't I listen to the voice of experience.  Beth told me...the nurse told me...
The dr called in some meds for my mouth and put antibiotics on hold in case this turns into an upper respiratory thing.  At first I was worried because I'm right in the middle of that 10-14 day low immunity period. But I don't think it's any kind of infection at all - just mouth sores. I'm feeling better as the day goes on and I got some work done from home on the laptop so it wasn't a complete bust.
It's a beautiful day out there and I have my windows open, which feels wonderful!  I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Thanks for reading,  Susan
