Tongue Split Update Day 7,8 & 9

Hey guys and gals!  Well things have been going really well since the stitches are out.  I'm not going to divide this into days like normal because there hasn't been a whole lot of change.

The thrush is all gone from what I can tell.  There might be a light patch here or there but it's under control now.  I've been really enjoying eating solid food again.  I didn't realize that I had missed it so much haha.  I've been moving my tongue around and trying to regain the strength in the muscles.  I read some where that when you split them that it makes both sides weaker because they were dependent on each other.

The only problem I've noticed is today I saw a bubble like thing on the inside of the left side.  I'm sure that it will clear up on it's own but I don't like it.  The bubble is a little sore also.  My guess is there was a spot that got raw and the bubble formed to heal it.  My speech has improved lots now that the stitches are out but I'm not completely back to my regular voice.  I'm just trying to really pronounce things that I'm having trouble with.

I'm so ready for an alcoholic beverage!  I will probably be making myself a drink tonight or having a glass of wine.  I'm going to stay away from the beer for a little while longer because of the yeast in it.  The last drink I had was the day before I got it done and I usually drink 3 or 4 days out of the week  I know, wino! haha

Here's a picture update from today (If you look close you can see my little bubble):




One last thing...I see that I've been getting lots of blog views but hardly any blog comments :(  This makes for a sad Brenda.  Rachel you know I love you because you always show me comment love :)  So leave me some comments.  Don't be afraid of the forked tongue, embrace it hehe.

  2. You're welcome and thanks! I'm glad it's looking better too. It was looking pretty gnarly there in the beginning!
