Doctor did look at tongue and throat pretty hard at last visit two weeks ago. He put Jerry on an antifungal (nystatin, but duflocan does ring a bell?) since there was a slight showing of possible thrush. He just finished that a couple of days ago. I can only hope that two months, or sooner, is the magic date. While it still means another two weeks of inability to eat or talk well, it is something to look forward to. Thanks Kathy.

And Cheryl we do have a health food store, even in this little town. Will hit it tomorrow for the honey.

Thank you both so much!!!!

P.S. Thought about responding privately to you both but then thought perhaps if someone else is faced with an extended, slow to heal tongue sore, well, maybe this information can help them too! Thanks again!
