Hormonal effect

Two weeks before giving birth, I bit my tongue eating frosted flakes cereal.  I had to wait a month before I could leave the house due to Chinese traditions to see an oral surgeon. In the meantime, the blister festered into this....

This tongue tumor morphed into the size of a pencil top eraser, maybe bigger.  The doctor said it was most likely due to pregnancy hormones that triggered this rapid growth.  Damn, the pain a mother goes through, as if an episiotomy wasn't bad enough...now I have to get my tongue stitched up too.

Hubby to the rescue....

My tongue still hurts...*hint hint*
