Thanks Denise!
I am finding the same thing now with my tongue (3 months post surgery #1). I sound funny to myself and my tongue feels tingly and also a bit thick when I talk a lot. I kind of feel bad that some of the feeling is starting to come back and now more of it will be gone! Oh well. at least I know a bit more of what to expect with the next go round! And I hope I don't get a New York accent.......it would sound funny up here in British Columbia!
