numbness

It is exactly five months to the day of my "reconstructive" surgery and my left cheek STILL feels like someone shot me up with too high a dose of Novocaine. Ugh, nerve damage sucks. My friend thinks I should look on the bright side. If someone slaps me across the left cheek, it won't sting so much as tingle...sort of like a brain freeze after slurping down a large iced mocha frappuchino in five seconds. Wonderful.
