Thanks so much, Brian. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that immediately wonders what something could be if it's in the mouth. These pesky little (have one right now) bumps on the tongue are irritatingly painful enough..I always wait to see if they go away before I panic.

I'll ask about them adding my head to the scans, for piece of mind.

What do you do for the pain? I am trying to eat jello right now off a small teaspoon and can't get my mouth open enough. (without some major hurting)

Do you rest it for a while? Go to liquids? I don't take much in the way of pain pills, I'd hate to do that just for this.

Thanks again,
Dinah
