No nodes removed. I took a book light to my tongue and I have a hard, clear cyst-like bubble that is right along the incision site. It's small in size but sore to the touch. It also looks like the blood vessels on the floor of my mouth are being "pulled" towards it. I put a call in to my doctor and am waiting to hear from the resident on-call. I tend not to be a worrier but today I am worried.
