I have numbness on the left side of my mouth--the tongue and the gums on that side are numb and I think part of the jaw. It has been that way ever since my surgery. I think if your wife has had this numbness since her surgery, that's pretty common. On the other hand, if it hjas just come on since then, she might want to see someone about that.

p.s. How is her swallowing now, Vin?
