I’m starting to get more feeling coming back on the left side of my anesthesized face. WAHOO!! Still not perfect, but my throat, teeth, gums, and eyelids aren’t furry, fuzzy numb anymore. That means I can go back to chewing my food on the left side of my mouth.

I know… big deal. Someday I’ll tell you about all my orthondontia, but suffice it to say that my right molars don’t quite meet properly WHEN I try to chew on that side. Remember those “kiddie” scissors they gave you in kindergarten? Sometimes it seemed like they only cut properly if you used them in your right hand? If you didn’t use the right hand, then they couldn’t cut a thing. Yep… that’s my teeth on the right side.

Even though I haven’t gotten my test results back, yet, I decided to buy some B12 – 1000mcg. I swear, it was almost like getting a hypospray from “Bones” McCoy. After the first pill, within hours the puffiness around my left eye was gone! After two days and 3 pills (I took an extra one tonight) it’s just my cheek, lips, and a portion of my chin that are furzy.
