Hi bug!
I had a BIG biopsy---lump removed from jaw--but I was even given a numbing 'pellet' to chew on before even getting the 'local'---it took half an hour and 4 stitches and I'm the world's biggest wuss when it comes to needles and knives---felt NOTHING but a 'tugging' inside my jaw and went home happily to my supper!
Mouth felt 'peculiar' with stitches, but managed the warm salt washes, and at least SOMETHING Had been done!!!!!!
First step on the journey!
