Hi all,
Well I have surgery on Monday for my tethered tongue. I will be getting a skin graf under my tongue. Hopefully the release will be final this time. This is surgery number 5 since Oct 1st 2009. I finally got ahold of my ENT who insured me that my speech will not get worse. Why don't I feel comforted.
I have chosen to do this with gentle anistectics, I am tired of being put under. The dr said he has to keep my tongue imobile for at least 4 days. With previous experiance, I have already started eating. Here goes several more weeks of not eating. oh well. Tomorrow I am going to the MN state fair..I am going to eat all day smile!!
