Which I pretty much did. For the worst of it I used an Oxy to put me to sleep for about 7 days in total Two at night one in the afternoon before lunch. I drank fully by mouth through treatment so I just talked myself into chugging my ensure four or five times a day, and then rinsed and made sure I kept the area clean.
hugs to you on getting through it. take care
