Malka, Cute!!
Liz and Patty, I have a client who is my dentist so I saw him at 2:30 and we spent 15 mins talking about my wife who he also treats. I finally had to say "what about meeeee". Anyway he looked in my mouth and said he thinks (comforting) that I have a yeast infection and told me to eat the cultured yogurt stuff and gave me a prescription for Diflucan. I then said "what about my split tongue?" and he said probably due to the swelling of my tongue and I said "what swelling?" and he said the swelling caused by the infection. I gave up and started talking about my wife again.
I already ate some strawberry yogurt (yum) and will P/U my prescription after 6 tonight. I hope my tongue grows back together at least for my clients' sake.
