Hmmm, I do have a 5 day weekend coming up the end of August. Also, aren't there colored spacers that can be used to keep the hole open when once can't actually wear a piece of jewelry?
They make clear ones that work pretty well in the tongue.
The one drawback is that you really shouldn't put anything that's not surgical stainless until it's healed (a month or two). You also shouldn't change jewelry during that period either.
