Hey there glad your eating okay. All this takes a while - i dont know that your tongue will ever not feel different - however humans are very adaptive and eventually we just get used to things and it becomes normal... I can tell you I can feel my new tongue - that maybe kudos to the very talented reconstruction plastics guy - but it feels like a bee sting if I bite it accidentally ! I was told by a different dr. A surgical oncologist ( my rads guy wasn't avail he day I had an appointment with him- so I saw this guy - he is a collegue of my SO - he sai- if a feather lands on your arm you may not feel it but if it lands on your tongue you will one is way more sensitive than the other - the new area will eventually re generate nerves and will become as sensitive as your original tongue - nothe arm where it came from... I don't know if this is true or if he is right - but I'm hopeful! Good luck... And heal well!
