The question of oral or base of tongue is still confusing to me. It was on the bottom of the left side of my tongue but I've also heard them refer to it as base of tongue so I'm not completely sure.

Yes, totally aware about my malnutrition issues. I'm trying to dilute the carnation but I choke so bad I just give up. I will try harder tomorrow since I know I need to do this.

I have some numbing meds but they make me so nauseated since my stomach is empty. I do like the Mary's Magic Potion and the Oasis mouthwash. Even water feels like acid on my tongue and swallowing is like hot razor blades going down and it almost always gets stuck and I choke it back up.

I will talk about IV fluids more often. I have a newborn baby and it's hard to be in the outpatient unit for so long..ugh
