Back again, still struggling a bit.

Currently am not able to chew, PERIOD. Only liquid or everything mashed.

Have to be careful in the shower, no direct streams of water on the right side of my scalp or on the right side of my face.

Have shaved my beard for the first time in 15 years, checking to see if shaving is less painful than shampooing.

The doc has bumped my Gabapentin to 3000mg, this is the second day and there's no improvement. I'm scheduled to try for a total of three before getting back to him with the results.

We're camping over the 4th, but I won't be able to eat burgers from the campfire, THAT's for sure.

Nuts.............
