Your Frankenfinger will remind you of … the fact it’s not the finger you had lo’ those many years, but that’s not ,em>really bad, is it?

My heart’s been doing this beat-skippy thing lately, which has made me far more aware of the thud-thud-thud-skip-thud of my heart than I ever was.

Your Frankenfinger will make you more mindful, which is not a bad thing to be.

I had jaw surgery ten years ago (almost) and lost all feeling in my upper jaw for awhile - as in, if I brushed my teeth, I could not feel my gums, particularly around my front two teeth. I was told that might be permanent, but sensation eventually returned. I was also going to say that the numbness could be temporary.

I think the numbness will be temporary, if it's anything like the numbness I had in my thumb after my surgery on it several years ago. It hurt like hell for a while, but after the pain went away, it was numb to the touch for several more weeks. I don't know if it was because of the stitches or the medication or something else or a combination of the above, but it did go away after a while...I guess it just took time for things to regrow. *big hug* Sorry about the thumb :(.
