Granny goes Stoney Faced.


A curious visitor outside the hospital coffee shop.

Hello All.

So, yesterday was quite a day.
Which actually started at supper time on Sunday.
I opened my mouth to take my first bite of food.
And went ouch, ouch, ouch.
I put my hand to my jaw and felt a lump.
A big lump.
A big, painful lump.

Now, I have had this before.
Those of my older friends will remember.
I ended up having a mammogram.
Long story.

So, I didn’t panic.
When I got up yesterday it felt a bit better.
And, when I got to work, I sucked a lemon.
Sour stuff gets the salivary glands to work and clear the stones.
Not this time.
My face instantly swelled up.
Not my best look.

I made an appointment to see a doctor.
When I got in to see him there was very little swelling.
I hate when that happens.
Ten minutes after leaving the surgery my face went up like a balloon.

Lying in bed last night I remembered how I cured the first one.
The doctor told me, if the stone did not dissolve,  they would have to operate.
Through the mouth.
Instant recovery.
It worked again.
Face is back to abnormal.

And, now, I am off to take Jasmine for a walk.
Other stuff happened yesterday but I will save it for tomorrow.

  1. Oh no! That’s awful! But isn’t the mind an incredibly powerful tool that can actually make our symptoms lessen at the doctor’s office then return as soon as we leave?! Happens every time! I’m so glad you “scared the stone” into submission!

    • It is a stone that is formed in the salivary gland. It blocks the gland and that causes the swelling and pain. Most of them dissolve. If not they operate through the mouth…euwwwwwww

  2. Ouch! I had that once and it hurts like stink! The only thing – I couldn’t go near anything that would cause me to salivate because the pressure felt like my face was on fire. I took some pills of some sort. And it did not come back.

    But there you are, proving that you can heal yourself by putting your full attention of the spot along with the results you want. See…that’s the healing I’m learning in December. Wanna come here and teach the course? 🙂

    Glad you walked. Important stuff.

    • Hi Sweetdays..nope…a peacock…there were six of them…all hoping some diner would give them something.
      If you eat something sour it makes you salivate and dissolves the stone…that and the threat of surgery!
