Tongue splitting diary, day 11



It's been awhile since an update, but that's because there hasn't been much to report on. I left friday to play some derby in Canada(see pic above), so I was holding off on doing a new binding until after. I had also ran out of the mouthwash to clean it so I didn't want to push my luck. I've noticed some white matter in the split, it doesn't appear to be pus. I'm not too worried about it.

Anyways, I've got a nice little split going along the top of my tongue, and I can flex and open it a bit. Jet city is now on winter break to it gives me a solid two weeks to work on it in peace. Skating with something constricting your tongue kind of sucks! Especially when you bite down on it when you get hit.

I don't know if it's my imagination, but I seem to need to bind a lot more frequently now. They seem to be too loose after a few hours(or a night). I've read online, though, that after the first few days it goes a lot faster. I hope that's what is happening, and I'm not just wasting my time thinking I've bound it tight enough and it's not.

And now for a pic! Sorry for the crappy quality:


Trying to show the split better:
