Update on the glossal problem

[vannin]

I went a bit quiet about the lump on my tongue because it seemed to provoke a series of personal attacks by an Age Net 'someone' who was trolling there at the time.

I am tentatively resuming the topic because so many asked me. Admission to day surgery for slicing-off, was possible for this Monday the 11th. I declined, because next week and the following week (The Murder Mystery!) both contain a celebration meal for my husband's 75th. So now I am due to go in on Monday 25th. The surgeon has decided I am not a good risk for general anaesthetic and I am more than happy to have local instead.

At least you will be aware of what they're doing. Hope everything goes well for you Viv and its quickly over and done with.

[Monika]

Wishing you well, Viv for the 25th.

Sounds nasty, but at least you will see what they are doing, should not take long, good luck, keep us posted,
have a good celebration week, happy birthday to 'hubby'

[dejavou]

Well, you'll get no personal attaks on here Viv .... you should have stuck your tongue out at them ( )

I hope all goes well with you op on the 25th, you'll be glad of the rest after all the socialising

Oooooh M'dear... Knew nowt about this Vannin... Concern lass...

Troll on another forum at this time for you... Tsk... arse..!! Pay them no heed... ths...

Thoughts and wishes all is good.. and let us/me know in private how you are if need be...

Much as Rowans is getting a tad twee.. ( no offence meant Eve.. ) there be no eeeejits here that would......

[vannin]

Thankyou Rowan, Monika, Widget, Deja and Mgzy. Och I ken fine all the Tree folk are grand lasses (and lads) No eejits, no trolls.

The consultant is of the opinion, as we are too, that there is 'nothing sinister'. My appointment yesterday was expected to include a biopsy. But he decided against it, saying two lots of cutting the tissue....requiring recovery twice from the soreness - he preferred I should be 'spared' for the two celebration meals!

Then after the thingy is excised, it will be routinely sent to the lab for analysis, as is the procedure after most bits are removed anyway.

Sounds rotten for you Vive.....will be thinking of you,all the best xx

[vannin]

[Mgzy]

Hope the procedure aint too intrusive m'dear.. N.. does it mean you're gona be .. erm.. tongue tied for a short houly time...

Youngest had an accident n damaged his tongue.. 28 hours of shut up... lol...

buger.. I'm talkin to type.. hehe..

[vannin]

Mgzy, I am likely to be tongue-tied for quite a while, a pure joy for my husband and others Our choir is starting to rehearse for the Town Festival of Carols in early December, when we take to the stage of our Swan Theatre, together with the Wycombe Orpheus and guest choirs. I shall opt out for this year because I have been warned to expect a three-month recovery period.

It will be mushy foods, I am thinking mashed banana and Tesco Greek Yogurt, which I always find very soothing on the mouth. Maybe porridge breakfast..and drink through a straw at first Vodka and straw please!!

What deja suggested about sticking my tongue out at .........(whoever) good thinking, especially when it will look disgusting.

Best of all, a possible advantage may be weight loss if I can't easily guzzle sweeties!!
