A new day and new sensations. As I've mentioned in previous posts, the nerves in my face are going crazy. The newest sensation is one I call "the squiggles". It's difficult to explain what they are, but the best way I can describe it is to say that it feels as if little feet are running over my face - from my chin to my cheek, or my cheek to my nose, or one side of my chin to the other - it's crazy and it almost tickles. My face also itches and it's not fun. It's not fun because it only itches where it's numb and when I scratch, it doesn't do a thing to make the itch go away! Very frustrating! I've begun getting some shooting pains from time to time in my jaw and cheeks, and my teeth sometimes ache. I suspect it's normal, just the healing process, but it can be agonizing nonetheless.
A yummy dinner tonight of southwest (chipotle) chicken and rice. I'm telling you, I'm beginning to enjoy dining at Chez Darling! We capped it off with a Rootbeer Freeze for dessert while watching the movie 2012. Not bad!
But, I'm still craving a big, fat ribeye! (couldn't resist)
I'll leave you this evening with some updated photos - slowly but surely, things are progressing! Nighty night, all!

Hey Graham! Thanks, it's a bit different but not too drastic. I'm a little freaked about it, it's a change and I'm not used to it. So far, things are going well. I didn't think it possible during the first week - I was convinced I would rather wither away and die! lol
I have an awesome family and great friends. You've been a wonderful help - finding your blog and corresponding with you has been a godsend! You look pretty awesome yourself! :-) We're on the road..it might have a lot of twists and turns, but we might just hit the destination, huh? :-)
