TIFU by waiting too long to eat

r/

Well. I was starved this morning and had nothing to make for breakfast, and after moseying around in bed for a couple hours I decided I couldn’t take it anymore. My stomach was rumbling and growling at me while thumbing through Reddit of course. I’d had enough. So I went out for breakfast around 11am and was so hungry when I got my food I ate sooooo fast SOMEHOW I chomped on the side of my tongue sooooo bad I couldn’t even finish my food or my fresh OJ. This was only 4-5 bites in, my plate looks hardly touched. I mean, a chunk of the side of my tongue is MISSING! I guess I swallowed it with the food when I bit it. I’m not sure, but it’s bad enough my tongue actually formed a scab to help it heal. Am I the only only who DID NOT know tongues can form scabs? That’s just wild to me.

TLDR: I went to breakfast starved, I got my food and a couple bites in I chomp a chunk out of the side of my tongue, rendering me unable to finish my meal or my fresh squeezed OJ.

    Owwwww!

    60m here, I also have trouble eating food too. Tongue, sometimes cheek.

    Hope it feels better soon.

    I feel your pain. A few weeks ago I was having a nightmare and bit the ever loving shit out of my tongue. I woke up all sweaty, disoriented by pain and a mouth full of blood. It healed after about a week but was super annoying to deal with
