Hello everyone trailblazahh here to talk about well something that most people would rather not talk about…For they would much rather roll over and play possum to this somewhat uncomfortable topic…With that said it IS a part of life and well I am a firm believer in discussing or bringing things to light on the topics that most people would much rather well to be quite honest with you sweep under the rug…It’s the “shush if we don’t talk about it, it isn’t there” syndrome…Well news flash people, I am here to say that hell yea that the elephant is still in the room and (in this case it is on my lip) waiting to eventually rear its ugly head.
Ok, do I have your full attention? Well then let’s carry on shall we people with that said I am blogging today bout COLD SORES…Yes, Yup that is right, cold freaking painful sores people they are a fact of life some people never get them, and whelp I am not one of them…For I get emm, and I get em hard oh and for the record people we are NOT diseased just saying..Don’t look at us in disgust, yes I get it, I have something quite foreign on my lip. Thank you for not letting me forget it for a modicum of a moment. …For up until this point I hadn’t found anything that would make it go away faster and by faster I mean MUCH faster until that is NOW. And quite honestly I am so used to it by now that I don’t “See” it until that is the episode that lit the fire under my buttocks was the person who literally did a full on take of my lip in the isle at the grocery store. I will never forget that moment as I was engrossed in cat beds yes cat beds deciding on a color and then I “felt it” and you all know what I am talking about, it is THAT undeniable feeling. You know the “I think someone is staring at me feeling” usually I am wrong but not this day no siree Bob for I looked up and BOOMSHAKALAKA her eyes met with mine and well she tried to look as if she wasn’t looking at me she “pretended” to look above me but well you know the rest. In any event it was her actions that literally brought my actions full on like Donky Kong..So thank you for that, for you know who you are..So immediately I chose a cat bed a beautiful color of pink no more hemming and hawing about that and then sought the advice of a pharmacist. The product she told me of, is no lie, worth its weight in gold..So thank you, thank you for something that actually works that IS literally true to their word. Anyhow this cold sore was I kid you not the size of a bloated tick full of blood, or a pimento olive which I flipping love by the way for I could eat a whole jar of those yummies.. In all honesty it was the biggest geyser yet..Ok I know ya all want to see it so without further ado ta daaaaaa here she is, my lip.
Ay, chihuahua right? For it is huge…And what was it that brought it on…Unnecessary stress induced by my father, bro, Sonny from where? Yes Eugenia street from New Bedford Mass..But in this case “ponos ston kolo” (pain in the ars ) you see my dad has to take many pills…And I get it he doesn’t want to at times and he tries to rebel..By the way I definitely know where I get that trait from..Anyhow these pills he takes are very vital in keeping him breathing, for the intent is to avoid the bagpipes sounds as he refers to them in his chest which is an indication of fluid building up. We want a nice clean free of sound breath, don’t get me wrong I love bagpipes but at a parade (furosemide is a lasix that last six hours hence lasix for it takes fluid out of your body) I am thinking to myself and then out loud to my dad, so what that furosemide makes you have to go pee that is the point of that drug, it is NOT like you are leaving the house and all you have to do is walk yourself to the bathroom. Well actually not really walk as you know from my prior blogs ( and if you don’t know go and check em out for I think they are quite a maze balls Ha) he has to use his AMAZING undeniably gorgeous cane but it’s not like it’s a far trek…So basically you are telling me that ALL of this could have been avoided had you taken your furosemide? Ay caramba Dad come on now….YES…So needless to say my dad had an episode, but he is ok and now religiously taking his medication…But that stress and I mean unnecessary stress…Well it was NOT necessary…You hearing me dad? And to you other older and much wiser folks, please we get it as my dad says “it tough getting older” and I get it, and sometimes we operate on the preface that hey I feel pretty dang good so I don’t need to take my medicine but in all reality it is the very thing that is making you feel good so don’t stop and with that said if you take your medicines well these self-induced episodes can be avoided… Listen for the love of God and Jesus If you don’t do it for us, and yourself (your amazing elderly wise selves) well then “do it for Johnny”… If you don’t know that reference that is a quote from one of my favorite movies The Outsiders and if you haven’t seen it well “do it for Johnny” for it is a MUST!
So with that said it started a day or two after “said episode”, to rear its ugly head on my lip..You know the feeling, it starts to bubble tingle below the “said hot spot surface” listen don’t get me wrong I am all about bubbling in fact bubbling is great when it is in my soda water, in a hot tub or champagne but NOT again I say NOT when it’s about to be birthed on my lip. If you get them, you know exactly what I am talking about here, and then BOOM, it’s birthed for cyclops is born..And YIKES is all I have to say…
The DUAL moral of the story is, we have to face difficult situations head on before they get so out of control that we wish we had not rolled over and played possum..In my case because I have gotten so used to my cold sores I have kinda forgotten that they are there but clearly not the lady in the store so I had to find a product that would help mitigate my situation and fast in other words the MINUTE I start to feel the bubbly bubblys. However people and side note here I can’t stress enough that we are not diseased so if you find yourself looking not intentionally or intentionally try to pretend like your not..This might invoke a little acting here but I am sure you can do it.. And Dad and everyone else I know you feel good and certain medicines can be an inconvenient and all so your thought is “why should I take this medicine I feel good etc. so because I feel good I am not interested in being inconvenienced today so I am going to pretend my condition is not there not take it”, but you have to take your medicine and take your medicine daily religiously as doctor directed.. Don’t pretend things are not there because trust you me in my case people will let you know telepathically. In your case bad ramifications that could have been completely avoided..And here it comes a TRIPLE meaning here… quite honestly people this pertains to everything in life…Don’t pretend things that need to be addressed (insert things that you need to address here) are not there for they will eventually rear their ugly heads..Get it before the volcano erupts..
Oh and yes let’s NOT forget to mention the amazing product that I used for my lip and that I swear by……Drum roll please…It is ABREVA….Anyone who has this problem you MUST invest in this product for it IS worth its weight in gold…Trust me you will not be disappointed..
And as always be true to you and THANK YOU JESUS.
