Welcome ... I hope you find solutions to YOUR specific issues.

A friend of mine online had surgery to remove a growth from his neck, face and throat area. They had to enter through the side of his neck and face to get to it. It was benign thankfully BUT he was left with facial nerve damage and a slur when he speaks.

He told me that it will take a long time but the nerves should heal up eventually. There are some instances though that permanent damage has been done and he knows that so he won't know until he is sure enough time went by.

I hope you heal up just fine and dandy!

My nerve damage is pretty permanent (not from surgery) at this point but most of it did heal from the initial problems when those broke out almost 2 years ago.

Good luck and get well! .... and WELCOME! Just remember how long nerves take to heal which unfortunately can be a very long time.
