Hi "T",
Thank you for your prompt reply. I appreciate all the helpful info on this forum during this very confusing, "lonely-feeling" time in my life. Logically, I was leaning towards having both lingual tonsils out despite ENT rec. I appreciate your sharing your experience. I am still recovering from a tongue biopsy of some leukoplakia left tongue, as well having trouble chewing and swallowing food not chopped up without pain under my left chin/neck. I am very fearful of the additional pain and trouble swallowing post bilateral lingual tonsillectomy, but I suspect this will be "nothing" compared to what lies ahead. I am so thankful to this website and forum. Right now, my emotions are everywhere, though I am prone to depression and anxiety so that seems to be the predominate feeling. "T", thank you so much for your positive thoughts and prayers. Brian Hill, thank you for founding this website. I am in such admiration of you all for your strength and courage.
