Sunday I was skiing and at a rather high rate of speed caught air and did something when I landed which caused a fall. Apparently I was “starfished” as I hit and then went over the edge into the trees. I hit with my back and back of my head, hard enough that I bit part ways through my tongue (stupid tree).
Come Monday I have problems lifting my arm very high so I decide to ditch my swim class. But, I was thinking, would there be any potential issue with my tongue at the pool - am I risking any infection for a period of time? It stopped bleeding within 1/2 an hour to an hour on Sunday but is still bruised and hurts where I bit it.
I have another swim class on Wednesday and the arms and shoulders will be fine although there are some sore spots but is there any potential issue with my tongue?
