Currently both my ears, much of the back of my head, a my jaw down to mid chest are numb. My doc says likely the lobes of my ears won't regain feeling and there will be the strip across my throat that will also remain numb.
My left thumb is also numb from where they took the flap to reconstruct the tongue, and that one is unknown for the moment. The surgeon has said we will know more when I meet with him in a couple of weeks.
