The numbness is weird. The top of my head is totally numb (that's where the monster was - think he's dead now!) part of my ear is ok,but down inside is numb. My eye is numb and am experiencing double vision when both eyes are uncovered so am wearing an eye patch. Half my nose is numb so I can't tell when I blow it - feels weird.
I can feel touch on my cheek and while 12 my tongue is numb I can still feel my teeth with it.
It's gonna take a little getting used to, but NO HEADACHE in over 48 hours. That's a record and I don't miss them at all. My face is a little sore from the surgery, but nothing tylenol can't take care of.
Right now, I'd say if you're thinking about it, think hard. I'm not the least bit sorry I did it. My doctor was wonderful and told me to call him 24 hours a day if I even had a question. I'm still amazed with him.
Hope you'll be pain free soon. IT'S WONDERFUL!
