Ok, I know I've posted already today, but I have something that is EXTREMELY bothering me!

I decided to look at my throat yesterday, and where my uvula was there appears to be a "hole". My fears subsided after I spoke to the nurse at the office.

Now today I look at my throat and it looks like I have a big flap of tissue hanging down. Of course this scared me half to death so I went to the Dr's office and asked that they see me. The doctor said it was normal!!!!

How can something so strange looking be so normal? Anyone see a bunch of flesh hanging down after their UPPP???
I can move it with my tongue if I move my tongue to the roof of my mouth.

Please help. I'm going crazy :(
