Anyone ever had a tongue biopsy? It’s not fun! The numbing stuff the special dentist used is just like the normal dentist and of course doesn’t taste anything like a pina colada! 😝 The numbing shot was worse than the biopsy itself but not as bad as the regular dentist for an extraction or root canal. I talked funny for the first hour probably lol.
Food… oh food… how I miss you when I’m supposed to eat yet can’t really eat but I don’t miss you when I’m doing one meal a day or a 16:8 fasting like I have been several times each week lately. Soft foods only that are high protein and a caloric surplus for at least 3-7 days to promote healing. Anyone know of any soft meat that’s not fish?? Canned tuna is the only fish I can eat and not be sick so I see that in my future lol. Eggs too but kids don’t care for eggs so I limit how often I cook them and I don’t care for hard boiled eggs.
Drinking is a challenge too! No straws but drinking from a cup or bottle makes the tongue hurt! So yeah straw it is! Since it’s not an extraction they said to limit it rather than completely avoid.
But ya’all! It’s not bad pain but so damn annoying! I would put it at a 4-6 on the 10 point pain scale throughout the day. It’s like a leg cramp or Charlie horse. Everything is great then you move the tongue just right and it almost takes ya down 😝. Certain words will send a shooting pain in my tongue. It’s a radiating pain that has moved to my bottom jaw and starting a bit in the top jaw and where they meet. Wouldn’t be so bad if I’d shut up and not talk lol. Advil before bed for sure because it’s just bad enough to keep me awake (insomnia anyway), but not bad enough that I’d normally take something for it. They normally prescribe Norco which I refused do to a hydrocodone allergy. They respected my choice to go with Advil or nothing. The breast biopsy was easier day by day but they said the tongue will be worse on day 3. Yay! Not… We will be with family that day so lots of talking and I haven’t told anyone except two of my closest friends, my husband and recently (today) my children. It could be anything. Cancer, a huge oddly shaped canker sore, the dr just can’t tell and said this was the only way to know. Why worry anyone when it is probably nothing? Why have people tell me I’m just looking for cancer since I’ve had it before? I just want to be proactive early and make sure it’s nothing since two dentists and a hygienist have no idea what it is.
So prayers, positive vibes or whatever your beliefs are or whatever your into would be welcome! At this point it is what it is and I don’t believe it could change from cancer to a canker sore or anything like that but I will appreciate any prayers or positive vibes! 😊
No worries. Or not much anyway and with anxiety that’s saying something! No fear, no stressing… because if it’s bad then been there done that and I can do it again! If it’s something small or ‘good’ then that’s great. Probably something completely odd and rare with my luck lol. Perhaps my tongue is growing a little white baby tongue! Anywho… I’ve got this no matter what it is. What I’m not doing so well with is not talking! And not eating or eating the ‘right’ foods! (There IS some protein in chocolate Easter candy right?!?)
Oh and ya know me and my sweet tooth. “Don’t eat anything spicy” Yeah I grabbed some hot tamales candy when reading and realized it as I bit in. Oh well, let’s see what happens right? Nothing! Ate them on the opposite side and while they did seem to be more cinnamony it wasn’t ‘spicy’ or anything. Decided against chili for dinner however 😝.
Happy soon to be Friday everyone!
