The tip of my tongue was numb after surgery, causing a lisp. I thought it was from too much anesthesia. It took four hours for me to come out of anesthesia and I was told I fought with the staff. It's been seven months and I still lisp. This is scary since I perform for a living. There is also a knot at the base of my left ear, which the surgeon says is a stitch. There was a large hematoma on my neck on that side after surgery. I'm wondering what could be the cause of my tongue problems?
