Photo Evidence
I’m not sure why anyone would want to see my huge cold sore, but since Sara doesn’t believe my previous description and would like me to send this most lovely picture into cyberspace forever, I guess I’ll show you.
Than you can:
A) Feel sorry for be.
B) Be prepared to see me in person with the cold sore.
C) Run screaming from your computer because it’s so disgusting.
D) Tell me that I should go into seclusion until the monstrosity goes away and you can teach my lessons and pretend to be me at a bridal shower and CEC on Saturday, which I can’t miss anyways.
Just remember I have no make- up on so I’m wearing glasses and have my hair pulled back so it doesn’t touch my contaminated face.
Also, I saw the doctor. She prescribed me a pill that I have to take 5 times a day and an ointment. I think she felt really bad for me. I also had x-rays done on my toe so she can tell me if I fractured it, but the treatment is still just tape the toe and wear hard souled shoes. I hate shoes and don’t have any summer hard souled shoes. So much for cute toe nails.

If you can, ignore it, and no one else will notice.

It’s too bad that your herpes is flaring up. I’m sooo happy I don’t have your problem. It really is quite huge and disgusting.
Good thing you’re cute enough to make up for it.
I hope your daughters don’t have your predisposition for cold sores.
We’ll have to give you a special cup when you come to visit.

Thankfully the lip swelling had gone down a little by this morning. It was noticeable, but not as noticeable and I just made light of it with those around me on how I was so happy to not have a cold sore when I had a zit, etc. I’m taking the pills the doctor prescribed, but passed on the $90 ointment that I could not get in a generic, though had she only prescribed that I would have paid $90. I think the pills are helping a lot since I feel like I’m healing a lot faster and a lot nicer, though it’s still early, and it might get yucky just yet. (My cold sores usually heal with a nice large scab that I have the hardest time not picking off because my older brother taught me to pick scabs.)
I hope my girls don’t have my predisposition for cold sores. It’s not fun but Lilah has continued to tell me I’m pretty since we had a talk about being self conscious and not feeling comfortable with how we might look. Part of me knew she was just saying it, but she was saying it because she loves me and that makes it super sweet.
Also, I will be completely cleared up by the time I visit so I won’t need a “special” cup. (I think I’ll secretly lick every cup you have while you’re sleeping. Can’t wait to see you and your wonderful daughter! Oh, and Brien, he’s fun too.)
