Thank you all so much for the nice replies. I am doing much better, and that colleague of mine did apologize about making the first comment. Then went one to say that I did sound kind of funny. I did not get upset with her, just chalked it up to she did not understand what people with oral cancer go through. I did want to say, "Try talking with part of your tongue missing just a week afterwards." Anyway I am feeling much better, and thankful for everyday. One a better note, school is out for the summer and I will not have to see this person for a little over 2 months.
