Well, 18 months post-op and the side of my head still doesn't feel normal.  Still some numb spots, but at least it doesn't hurt!   ;D

I'm with Lori - although I'm only about 15 months post op.

My head doesn't feel normal either - but it feels more normal than it did.  Hope that makes sense to others  :P

I still have numerous numb spots and wouldn't be surprised if I always do.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways
