Hi Karen,

All of the information thus far sounds so reasonable I almost didn't post. I had a portion of my tongue become black after my first surgery, but it was only on the surface. The doctor said it was bacteria, and a concentrated approach to cleaning that area would get rid of it; which it did.

I feel for your Mom and hope and pray for a smooth recovery.

David
