I got my first tongue injury. Talk about annoying and a bit painful. It’s been almost 2 weeks and I still have to baby it. I tried to eat an apple yesterday and just couldn’t, it’s still a little swollen and the cut isn’t completely closed. Can’t chew gum yet, for fear of biting my tongue again… I got hit under my jaw with the soccer ball. It caught me off guard and my jaw shifted and my fang tooth went right through my tongue, about a quarter of an inch cut.
