i think about 11 hours. in OR at around 7ish. remember waking up at 6:30pm. didn't see husband until 8:30pm (sound familiar! - just read your report).
mine stuck to my facial nerve as well. said they got it all, but have more of the facial weakness now (improving - eye is the worst part of it - smile is returning); not as hard to chew now as it was at the beginning.
