Dale met with Dr. O'Reilly today. Dr. O'Reilly's checkup was fine. He did prescribe a Lidocaine cocktail called Xyloxylin, for Dale to use 10 minutes prior to eating to numb his esophagus. Xyloxylin is a combination of Maalox, lidocaine and diphenhydramine. He also recommended a new lotion for Dale to use to alleviate the red and itchy skin called Aquaphor. Some of the coughing that Dale is doing now is due to the damage being inflicted on his lungs during treatment.
Dale had his 11th treatment today...took 37 minutes from start to finish!
Invitation stands to anyone in the area that might want to drive over for the day and visit. They don't have much going on during the day here..just waiting around for Dale's 4:30pm appointment.

grrr - why haven't they invented teleportation yet?!?!
You may wish to look at the ingredients of Vaseline vs Aquaphor. Might give you a pleasant (cost wise) surprise.
