Speared by Mint

Another day, another medical  issue.  It seems that the fluoride gel that Ernie must use on his teeth daily and leave in his mouth for 30 minutes is flavored with mint.  Mint and mouth sores, it turns out, are not a good combination.  The mint causes quite a strong burning sensation.  The fluoride is by prescription only so while Ernie was getting his weekly chemo, I trekked to the pharmacy to explore other options.  The only choice to the spearmint is "fruitastic." I certainly hope it is.  The pharmacist had to order it so we will find out tomorrow.
