It took me a while to get to sleep last night – had some weird dreams when I managed it as well! My tongue is just achy, I’ve just pulled it apart (not that it was stuck together) and rinsed it with saline solution. I’ll be doing that four/five times a day for the first week or so, after that I can drop the saline and just keep exercising it for the first three months.
The tongue split is one of those body mods where the initial procedure is a walk in the park compared to the first week of living with it. I did manage to eat some food last night and am going to try to eat something in a while – Weetabix and banana is probably soft enough to manage.
Today I’ll be mostly: Downing lots of ibuprofen, not speaking and sucking on ice to reduce the swelling.
