Minnie, you and others always have a way of bringing comfort with your posts -- thanks a lot... My gut is that some food has iritated the back end of my tongue pretty good, as I'm trying to delve back into the world of normal again (even dry foods, which I know I should avoid for awhile)... Since I keep biting my tongue on the left side when I chew, I tend to send most of the food down the right side, where this iritation is... But it still freaked me out to feel this type of pain and then see a little white patch last night...

Consider this my deep breath... ahhhh...
