My surgery itself went fine. My surgeon found that scar tissue from my first surgery was pulling the nerve up and thus made another vessel touch the nerve. My facial nerve was not cut during surgery - but I still have developed some numbness and tingling in the left side of my tongue and part of the left side of my face. Three days after I was discharged from the hospital I had to be readmitted due to the fact that my incision was infected. They had to open up over half of my incision to clean it out. It is still open and I now have to have a nurse come out to my house two times a day to pack the open incision and put a new dressing out. Yesterday I had some pain behind my left eye - but otherwise there have just been some twinges of pain in the left side of my face.
