I removed broken bones/bone fragments from under the base of my tongue

No one will probably believe me, because it does not sound probable, but, here goes. When I was perhaps 23 years of age, the bones under the base of my tongue shattered for no apparent reason. I could feel these tiny bone fragments moving about, and the pain was tremendous, cutting me from within.

Soon, these bones had formed into a pile, so I elected to remove them myself, in order to avoid a trip to the E.R. Using tweezers, I  pulled out what appeared to be yellow pieces of bone, or possibly cartiledge, followed by gray chunks of tissue. Each bone, or bone fragment was small. Maybe the size of a q-tip head or smaller. There were 4 in all, I believe.There was no blood, whatsoever, and no pain afterwards. I have suffered no ill effects from it. No affect was made upon my speech. If there is anyone who can explain what happened to the bone(s) under my tongue and what the bones were, an explanation would be appreciated. I pulled them out through the tiny hole that I believe produces saliva on the left side. There are two tiny holes. One on either side. Please don't dismiss this as  being a post from some nut job. I realize it sounds crazy., and no one will respond to this problem in any other forum.
