What it is, is a numbness feeling inside the head, not when you touch the head or face. It is almost like a nerve has been cut that will not grow back. It is extremely annoying and bothersome because it feels like something or someone is standing next to me and I wish they would take that darn baseball bat somewhere else.I do hope all of you who are experiencing trouble or pain (no pain here) that you just have to listen to the dr. Guess they know what they are doing. He said it may take a long time before the numbness goes away. Or maybe "I" could just go away.

It has to be tiring to continue to 'put up' with the results of the surgery every day. Wish I could come get you for the PNW get together! I'll just have to send a hug instead.........done!
