beginning of the end (1)

wake up
mouth on fire
tongue sore
sore as a pickled owl
as Mimi Sackett used to say

swill bromelain water to quell the pain

follow up with tincture of sour sop

toast the raisin bread, warm the gravy
butter the toast, cut it into little dice,
add the sausage gravy

eat it !

it's delicious

water pik floss
do minimum swish of the Holy Alkaloid
lie down and listen to book

darling daughter comes over with daily dose of slippery elm
and a long box from the Vermont Country Store
it is the wooly mop for hardwood floors
DD opens the box, Skaterina says i think it is for your birthday

it is raining
Juanita stays while DD goes home with the mop

Skaterina lays down some more
book is Paying Guests by Sarah Waters

Skaterina decides to have a cappuccino
Kitchener the pair of GINA socks
she does her best Kitchener so far and has by now
memorized the formula
takes two aspirin and finishes the coffee
decides to write this

DD said she looked nice
she decides what to wear based on the weather and what she plans to do
or not do
like not go to the library or yarn shop or newspaper office or Dave's for coffee
she needs grounding / stay at home
shale trousers / black perfect fit T / black knit cardigan
shocking pink knit scarf to wrap Dora

Dora has no pain today
neither do the teeth or ear
just the tongue with pain now lessening

due to we dont know what

Dora is due more or less sooner or later
to break open and eject the cancerous tumor
then more to come but when who knows
the roots of the malignancies that reach up to the jaw, ear, and tongue
all must eventually come out

the tongue is the last to go
anybody's guess

it is now stated that surgery doesnt "get it all" because of the roots
which are left behind

it has been a week since she has taken the Holy Alkaloid
a small swish to get started / check
prepare a capsule with a small follow up dose

hope springs eternal
