About two years ago I had a lymph node removed from the left side of my neck (it was radiation damage). Since then, I've had no feeling in my face from my jawbone to the cheekbone on that side.

Til this morning! In the shower washing my face and its suddenly 90% awake. Very cool! Should make shaving a little easier...
