I keep hoping and praying but...need to learn to deal and find a new career as it's just not happening fast enough for the type of work I do.  It's hard to teach reading and blends when I can't say them myself :o(

In November, 1991 I had translab on left side.  The left side of my face was already paralyzed but this surgery caused my left cheek and tongue to be numb.  I was told that it might take a year to come back.  It has improved very little.  I bit my tongue really hard several times (didn't hurt but have really deep scars!).  Last week I bit the left edge of my tongue and I FELT IT!  So, apparently it is still gradually improving.
