Guest guest Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 carol, where do you live?? i live in napa, ca... sure hope we are close.... glad you are doing better..sounds like you had it really rough.. rae [ ] Soap Opera of the Tongue Dear Group, Hi, it is me, you member with the split tongue and hole in it. It is still there and still hurts. My regular Dr. says I am doing fine, because there is no infection, and he has Rx'd me duragesic patches. NOW I am having strange episodes when I sleep. I am keeping my husband up at night due to my snoring and choking/gasping for air all night long. It starts about an hour after I go to sleep. I fall asleep during the day at the strangest times, just out of the blue. Then I kind of snort or make a horse-blowing out noise when I can finally breath. Tomorrow I am going to see a sleep specialist, my Dr. is afraid that I have sleep apnea. I didn't have these symptoms before my surgery. Can you believe it? All of you, please consider any type of surgery very carefully. The Surgeon said that it was imperative I have the lump removed because it looked like cancer and he needed to do a " comprehensive biopsy " . Thank God it was not cancer, All these little extras are very scarey and irritating. I return to the surgeon on Thursday, and I am now feeling strong and angry enough to stand up for myself. Again, your support has truly gotten me thru a pretty difficult bump in the road and I appreciate all of you. Gentle Hugs & Prayers, Carol M. in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Rae, I live in Stockton , which I think is about 1 hour away from Napa. My son-in-law is from Napa and he visits family there on weekends. He took me to Yountville for mothers day last year. Napa is really a beautiful area and I want to visit more. Take care, Carol M. in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
