Hi Jon
I have feeling in my flap and my doctor was quite pleased to discover that nerves had grown in. Naturally my "store bought" tongue doesn't have taste (the rest of my tongue makes up for it), but Flappy (as I call it} seems to be more sensitive to heat and pressure than is my native tongue.
Even though it's been 6 years since surgery, I still have a paresthetic issue: whenever I touch the left side of my lower lip (the same side that Flappy is on), I get a sense of coolness on my flap, similar to a "York Peppermint Patty" sensation. Does this happen to anyone else?
