Interesting. So sort of like plastic surgery?

I’ve read that corneas are the most nerve dense area of the body. After I had been diagnosed with corneal neuropathy. But I think the tongue must be a close second!

They will cut or laser the skin under my tongue, then stitch or cauterize it shut. They put a skin graft in there last time that was supposed to prevent it from growing so much, but it fell out in a few days. I hope they have another plan for an insert this time as they used up all the skin they took from my thigh.
Basically I’m tongue tied now, so can’t eat or speak properly.

The doc yesterday asked me what did I mean, that I can’t eat. He looked me up a d down and said I wasn’t exactly wasting away, lol. I told him big bowls of ice cream drenched in chocolate syrup.
