Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Dr appt. yesterday. I got the usual hugs and questons from the Drs staff and then went to the room to wait. The Dr came in with his usual Hey Jim, how are you doing.Then he checked my mouth and said your tongue is healed. Then he told me that him and the surgeon are trying to figure out a way to get rid of the pain or control it better. He gave me a week free and a script for Lyrica to try. I see the surgeon this afternoon for his update and opinion. Have a great day all.
