Kyle,

Just wanted to let you know things will be OK. I know it is hard to even think about loosing part of your tongue.

I lost part of mine too and it is doing fine. It feels a little funny but I can talk OK. At first there were a few words that needed practice. It sounds like you caught this early and that is good.

So think positive. You are going to be OK.

Take care,
Diane
