The Enemy's Gate is Down!

 Anybody know what it means if your tongue is swollen?  Well, or at least it feels swollen?  I think maybe I've been chewing on it in my sleep.  Is that even possible?  Wouldn't I have woken up if I was nomming my own tongue in my sleep?  I'm having Ender's Game dejavu:   "I don't care how much you eat, Ender, self-cannibalism won't get you out of this school."  It doesn't matter how much I nom, self-cannibalism won't get me out of this job...
