Well I guess I got my own answer...I tried some wine. The first sip tasted wonderful...then it started not necessarily burn but stung a bit then everything started to tingle and not hurt but tweek I guess so I never finished the glass. There was my going with the flow...

I talked to a family member and found out that her mom at 78 also went through oral cancer....And my opa he has had a sore in his mouth since he had his teeth removed and got dentures...I talked to one of his daughters and she didn't think we could ever talk him into seeing a dentist...I didn't have to after seeing me and hearing my story he asked me to "hook him up" so to speak...wow what a turn around the man dislikes doctors of any kind....So there is hope yet...

So for today...It has been a great christmas!!! I wish the same for one and all!!!
