Hi Lilbuttons2
welcome to our little community. Things will get better. I have a friend who had a hemiglossectomy and now just speaks with a slight lisp.
How are you feeling in yourself?

Early days. Just be kind to yourself and give yourself time to heal
Make sure you get plenty of decent painkillers to take home.
