Hi Caroline, thank you for your kindness and advice. I always take heed to older folks' advice. I truly appreciate it.

I just recently noticed the discoloration. I got tested for COVID yesterday and am awaiting the test results. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled with my PCP this Friday as well as the appointment with the oral surgeon, though that's later in the day. It all depends on my COVID results though. I spoke with someone at the oral surgeon's office. She won't be in til Friday, but I wanted to document my new-ish symptoms.
