Re: Kathy: Just Plain Scared

It was a very superficial numb feeling that was from my mouth down my

neck. It was more on the left side. I mean it wasn't really numb, it

just felt numb. If you pricked it with a pin I could feel it. It is

called paresthesia I think. Sometimes my ears and the facial skin by

them would feel altered--numbish like. The tips of my fingers and my

arms would do this too--it is like they have less feeling than normal.

This comes and goes. Not nearly as often as it was. That is

interesting about the left impant being contaminated and having the

most problems on that side. As far as I know, my implants weren't

contaminated.

Hugs, kathy
