Thanks for well wishes, Margaret. I do have pain meds but am probably not using them as much as I should. I'm going to ask for Magic Mouthwash today to see if it helps, too.

I've pretty much stopped eating over the weekend; now it's mostly Boost and Greek yogurt and protein shakes. Everything stings, even water, sometimes.

I'm giving up on the hair; it's definitely going fast.
