Charm,

I saw that you were logged on last night and I watched the board looking for a post from you until I was too sleepy to stay up. Glad to hear that you have your sense of humor. In my experience, most of the catholic priests did not have a large sense of humor.

What does hemi glossectomy mean? Is that similar to the Dodge hemi? Seriously which part of your tongue did they remove? I just recently realized that glossectomy did not mean that everyone's operation was similar to mine. I love that I keep learning new stuff every day. smile

Relax and take the time to heal. Look forward to hearing about your progress.

Amy good luck.

Patty
