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!

I actually feel like the needles and pins thing is a bit annoying sometimes. I am just so lucky to be able to eat real food and all. I feel so blessed every time I have a meal. It makes you feel so grateful. And that's a good thing. Denise
