Me? ...Cancer? ...How?

I really don't take pictures anymore. Sorry. Maybe if I had time I would.

Well, last Wednesday or Thursday I got a sore in my mouth. We were heading to Brian Head to watch conference, so we decided to pick me up some canker sore medicine to make the trip a little less painful. It numbed the pain for a little bit but every 10 minutes I had to add more. So on Monday I was in so much pain that I called the dentist here in town. I went in and asked him about my sore back behind my tooth. He said it is an infection and needs to be cut out! I of course hate blood and needles so he give me some meds to help with the pain.

I then figured that since I was in asking about the sore on the back of my mouth I thought I would have him look at the sore under my tongue. Come to find out the dentist thinks it oral cancer! Can you believe that, ORAL CANCER!! Of course if it is oral cancer that I have, than I am in the first stage because I don't drink, or do any type of drugs and I am not over the age of 40. SO, the only reason he is guessing that that is what it is, is because of its location (on the floor of my mouth) and because he knows it is not an infection. So he says that most mouth sores go away over 2 weeks so he will check me again on this coming Monday (13th). Which if it is gone or has gotten smaller than it is not cancer. But if it is the same size (still there) or has gotten larger than it more than likely is cancer.

Now back to the infection, the doc sent me home with some strong meds so I was all over the place! The next morning I couldn't even get my breakfast with out shaking and feeling like I was going to pass out. So I called my mom crying. She told me to just call the doc to cut the dang infection out of my mouth and get it over with. So I did. I even called my mother-in-law to take me because I couldn't get a hold of Caleb. So I am all worked up and I hate shots and I am laying on my back with Daisy watching me and everything. While LaRee was holding my hands and I start CRYING! Man I hate shots and needles!!! Come to find out the dentist decided to just clean the infection this time! He didn't want to cut into it and have the infection spread so NOW I have to go back and do it all over AGAIN!! Ahhh!! Gay!! Screw shots! Not to mention I might have some dang Cancer that I don't even qualify for!

And this all happened on my second day to teach! Which would've went well if we had gotten our whole 45 minutes to teach! BUT we didn't! We only got 30 minutes and we rushing through the whole lesson! One girl started crying because she couldn't finish her project, another was upset because she lost her ants legs, and other because she was embarrassed of her project and stuffed it in her desk! haha!! Man!! What a couple of days!

Not to mention my husband forgets that I am still going to school, while, ....oh I am not even going to go into the list right now.... I just haven't even studied for my PRAXIS that is coming up in a month! Ugh!

Hope you are all having a great day/week! lol
