So yesterday I ended up having to take out my tongue ring. I went to the dentist to get fillings done, but the webbing of my tongue had been swollen and sore since last Thursday, so I asked what was up with it to the dentist. He said it was because my barbell was pushing down into the webbing and making it swell all around it. I don't remember if he said that it was infected or not but he told me to take it out and do salt swishes 3-4x a day and if it doesn't get better in a week then I need oral surgery. :/
And he said that if I get the piercing redone then there's a chance it could come back worse. Well he said it would come back worse, made it sound definite.

So R.I.P. tongue piercing.

In good news, I dropped a pant size and I'm now the size I was in high school.
