i apparently burned the shit out of my tongue last wednesday and of course have been fretting over it for DAYS now b/c it hasn't healed up as quickly as i wanted. no doubt b/c i've been messing with it incessantly. so tonight i finally determined it had not turned into cancer (because if my tounge had to be cut out due to cancer, i'd rather just die...sorry). then went in to the bathroom for a final gander in the mirror and just as i was becoming satisfied that the burned spot was indeed better, i discovered the underside of my tongue looked weird....
this is what happened with that google fret-fest...

239 comments over a 7 month period. i was so impressed i almost created an account to comment. made me laugh a lot ( StudioRobot, brundlefly and grisly are favs....among others) AND I feel better particularly since my tongue doesn't look like that.
my hypochondria may still be a smidge out of control at the moment tho
since i also got paranoid today after my PPD test (for TB) was administered...i thought i felt a strange soreness in the side of my neck and jaw. was convinced it meant i was probably positive for TB. walked around all afternoon thinking of how i would respond to the nurse when she looked under the bandaid to surely find a festering sore where the solution was injected..."sooo, does this mean i dont get the job?"
i'm kicking myself into bed now. before i come up with one more reason why i could die very soon
