Canker Sores

They are the most unattractive, repulsive, and most frustrating bodily problems that can arise.

They are called canker sores.

According to WebMD.com, "Canker sores are small shallow ulcers that appear in the mouth and often make eating and talking uncomfortable. There are two types of canker sores: simple canker sores, and complex canker sores."

They plague people between the ages of 10-20, and can be caused from many things, stress being one of the more suspected causes.

The one that has erupted on my lower lip on the right side has been with me for about five days now. I'm starting to get mildly pissed, and subsequently have started punishing my body for disobeying the command to get better. How do I do this? I bite my lip open.

So this morning, I woke up, with my lip swelled to about three times its normal size. All I could do was drool and yell, "Moooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmm" in the most pathetic voice I could muster.

"What the hell happened to you?! My God!"
(in lispy voice) "Helpp meeeeeee."
"My God, your lip is HUGE!"
"Help me!"
"Oh. Right."

So ointment after cream after mouthwash came out. Salt water, Paroxyl, Hurricane jelly, Colgate Orabase. You name it, it was applied to my lip.

As I sit here, the pain surges through my lip and my mouth. I can eat normally, I can't even drink normally. This has altered my life.

I hate canker sores.
