Subject: RE: BS: Parotidectomy - expectations?
gnu, how's the healing process going for you? I'm almost feeling like normal here. Most of my incision has healed except the part below the ear, it's still scabbed over, not too much left. There's still a little swelling in front of the ear and under the incision, which is normal, no redness. I guess the numbness on the earlobe will be there for awhile yet - it'll be nice to have feeling there once again. I seem to find after it's too late that I've caught my ear in taking off stuff over my head, shirts that sort of thing. I guess I'ld have to yank pretty hard to pull an ear off, but it sometimes freaks me out. I know that wouldn't happened, it just feels weird is all.
