I'm Probably Going to Die

Ok, I am must assuredly going to die. We all are. But, I got this thing that occasionally appears on my tongue and it's probably cancer or some horrible disease that has yet to be discovered. I don't know what is causing it. I will just be sitting there, minding my own business and BOOM! I can feel the side of my tongue swell up and it's a bit painful.

Want to see it?

I'm showing you anyway.


What the truck is that? Is it another blocked salivary duct? I don't know. I just know that a warm compress helps it go away (temporarily). I have showed my dentist the "mark" and he said he was not concerned. Dentists and oral surgeons are usually the professionals that spot oral cancer, so I feel a little better that he was not worried. The next time it appears, I'm going to try to get into my ENT doctor. This is ridiculous.

I wonder if my neck/back pain, my salivary gland blockage and this odd tongue swelling are all somehow connected?

I wonder.

Right now, my tongue looks pretty normal. But I know when I am least expecting it, that damn spot will appear again.

OUT DAMN SPOT!

That is all.
