Almost Time To Hop Over That Big Pond Again

Well the packing is just about all done and our house sitter is all settled in. Just a few minor things to wrap up and we will be already to head out on our next adventure.
Tomorrow morning Veronica and I will be heading into Norfolk Airport to catch a  flight to JFK and from there the long international flight to Marco Polo Airport in Venice.
I will be writing a journal about our daily events along with my usual taking of numerous photographs.
I personally can't wait to sink my choppers into a slice of authentic stone oven baked pizza in Venice. There is one place that I was checking out that I really want to try.... Antico Forno  I am sure that we will find many more plus we want to find a great pasta restaurant too. Here is the hotel that we will be spending 2 nights at before boarding our ship, the NCL Jade, for  14 day Med cruise...
Hotel Papadopoli  
Be back before you know it...hopefully with lots of exciting stories and tons of great photos to share.                  

Last Medical Update Until After Our Vacation

I decided to do this one last medical update before we left for our cruise. I would like to be able to sweep all of this under the rug or shove it into a dark remote spot in a closet for a while so that Veronica and I can enjoy the build up to our cruise and and the vacation itself, without having this dark cloud always hanging around spoiling every moment we have.
So after this blog entry there will be no more talk about or thoughts about mouth sores and the "C"
word...at least until the end of October.
Actually my tongue has been feeling somewhat better. Not as much pain and on some days it actually looks better but by looking at the photos...damn if it looks any better. I guess "some days" were the operative words.
I can almost bet the farm that all of this stuff will still be waiting for me when I return from our vacation. But from this moment until I get back home...I am 35 years old again....healthy as an ox and as handsome and studly (according to Veronica) as George Clooney.....yeah I can hear you now.....damn that must be some really good shit he's got himself into!!!...and then there is the fact that Veronicas' sight is not what it used to be either.
Well...... what did you expect....re-runs of old road runner cartoons...beeep beeep!!



The following photos were taken on 10/7/2013. You will notice a new development on the top of my tongue that just developed yesterday





Now We Start Throwing The Kitchen Sink At My Tongue

I got my secret medicinal weapon in the other day. Based on the speed at which things have developed for the worse in my mouth, I decided to go ahead and start using the latest weapon in my arsenal. My fist dosage was last night. I will provide the details of this weapon at a later date but for now I will detail whether it appears that this weapon is working or not.
I will use it for the next 10 days, including last nights use. This will take me up to the night before we leave for vacation. I will then start back up again as soon as we return home. 5 weeks after that I should have an idea whether this weapon is working or not.
Below are the latest photos of my tongue and the dates the photos were taken:
