Tep, i just spent a fruitless 20 minutes looking up solutions for labial wound healing, and google-fu is giving me no love. Saline rinse seems to be the only constant. I hope it heals SOON -- goolie pain is no joke.
After my last post, I went to check on it (using, seriously, a hand mirror and a headlamp, and no, Tim was not *wearing* the headlamp), and it looks much better than yesterday. For the past week it's been about the size of
a pencil eraser,
and today it was less than half that size. The only thing I did different was start the topical steroid last night. IIRC, Cass was the one who suggested a steroid cream, so: CASS FTW!!!!!
Completely unrelatedly, I just had a moment where I realized how fucking jaded I am. During Big Bang Theory (Amy Farrah Fowler RULZ), there was a commercial for CSI. Apparently Lady Heather is in this episode. The commercial made it seem like it's about kitty play (yes, people who dress like kitties -- not in a full suit like a furry would, but ears and a tail and a collar and sometimes paws...which might not seem like much of a distinction between kitty play and furries, but apparently they are 2 different camps).
My first thought, hand to god? "THAT'S not so weird...."
I can never see Lady Heather without thinking "Julie Cooper!" Because Julie Cooper ROCKS.

I love her.
Last week, with the liqeur on the ice cream, was awesome. ("We're going to a bar...because I *do* that now.")

Worth repeating!

I don't watch CSI anymore, but I rarely thought the "weird" things on CSI were very weird.

I am the goolie whisperer, yo.
A saline soak might help the actual wound heal too if it needs more encouragement. So glad you are getting some relief.
epsom salts may work better than regular saline solution. Don't know medically, but from personal experience they hurt less and reduce inflamation better.
The sites I saw recced a weak saline solution or a sitz bath.
My husband and I just made out 1 year anniversary plansfor Saturday! We are going to Extra Virgin, a Michael Smith tapas bar that we've been to with friends once (the pork belly and chickpea frites were come-to-jesus delish) and it's supposed to hit a low of 71, so we have a reservation on the patio and are going to drinking fancy cocktails, eat yummy food and then walk around and check out galleries.
Fun!
Erin, how are you married for ONE YEAR already?!?

I was afraid my weird-o-meter was broken. I mean, I *do* find stuff weird (::cough::Gor::cough::), but human kitties is farly tame. No pun intended.

Dude, don't ask me! I am still all "Married? Me? WHAADAFUCK...?!"
But we have weathered my craziness, his social anxiety, almost-foreclosure, his inability to clean a bathroom or change the sheets and my stupid job stuff, so it is still pretty awesome!
Plus, we both want to celebrate our marriage with the belly of the pig, cheese, liquor and violent action movies -- what could be better?!

Sounds like a party, bebe!
And YAY!
