That feeling when you're partially numb and partially not-numb is the weirdest ever. My tongue now feels mostly normal but my lower lip (left side) feels gigantically swollen and tingly. ARGH MAKE IT STOP!

After I got my wisdom teeth surgically removed in 2000, my chin was tingly-numb for about 5 months. I guess they nicked a nerve or something. I used to poke at it all the time, and for a while I was really worried that it would be permanently damaged.

Then one day I noticed that it wasn't tingly anymore. It was like the last 5 months had been a dream. Isn't it totally weird when that happens?
