Also when I got my tongue done I talked funny for about a week as well. It can swell up pretty big. But if it gets to the point where breathing is difficult then see a doctor, otherwise the swelling will go down.
Everybody's different maybe yours swelled up a whole bunch. Also eat tomato soup, it supposed to help it heal says the lady that did mine back home.
You've had a hole punched in a area of your body that is not supposed to have a hole. And that area is one of the most bacteria laden areas of the human body. I would be surprised if it was not swollen.
See your doctor to be sure.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
