Numb Tongue

Yep, my tongue is numb, actually its only the right side of my tongue. My adventure started on Tuesday when I went in to have the final work done on my crown. They numbed the right lower side of my mouth real nice, did the needed work, and then off I went. Everything was going away nicely when I went to bed, except that the right side of my tongue, and my lip was still numb. I figured it would go away overnight, so off to bed I went.

Well, I woke up the next morning and something just seemed wrong. Not in a bad way, just different. Once I woke up enough, I realized that my tongue was still numb. "This is odd", I thought to myself. I reasoned that I had been lying down for the whole night, so maybe it didn't just go away, but it will surely get better as the morning wears on and I am up and moving about.

It didn't, which then made me call the dentist. The nice receptionist (who also works as an assistant) explained that this can be normal when you get injections. Sometimes the needle bruises or partially severs the nerve. It usually resolves......in 2 weeks to 6 MONTHS!!!!!! Yep, it can take up to 6 months (or sometimes longer) to regain taste, hot/cold, and sensation!

Has anyone else had this happen or heard of this before? I hadn't! So, right now the right side of my tongue is numb, I can't taste anything on that side, nor can I tell if something is hot or cold. It makes drinking hot coffee or tea mighty interesting to say the least. I hope is resolves sooner than later as you don't really appreciate your tongue and what it does for you until you can't feel it.

On a brighter note, today was my last day at the office. It was filled with a lot of goodbyes, instructions, and tears. Dorothy (the other nurse) bawled as I was saying goodbye. To be honest, I think it has more to do with her being left with all the work, and not so much with her missing me personally. I understand, I know how much work there is! She got a full realization of how much work I plow through each day when I was gone in Guatemala. I can process a stack of 25 charts in under 15 minutes *brag, brag*. Anyway, I am completely going to miss the people, but not the work, paperwork, or phone calls ("Yes, I am 2 seconds pregnant and I'm wondering if I can open my door to go outside? Will this hurt my baby? Are you sure? Maybe you should check with the doctor and call me back.") Laugh away, but its pretty close to the calls I get. How ever did we manage to reproduce all these years if breathing will hurt your baby???

I start orientation at the hospital on Monday, and then the following week I start my orientation back to the maternity center. That will probably be on day shift for the next 4-5 weeks and then on night shift for 1-2 weeks. It all depends how quickly everything comes back. I'm aiming for only a 3-4 week orientation if I can help it.

The time line for my 6 month trip to Guatemala is tentatively set....meaning I will either 1) be going mid Feb for language school, doing the RRB clinic trip mid March, and then start with Tito, or 2) do the RRB trip mid March, then language school, then Tito. I'm looking into various language schools and picking the brains of a few friends who have been down there doing this type of thing. I'll be contacting Tito probably in the next few months to make sure he can use me for the spring/summer next year and then I'll start firming up plans.

I will close with a picture from Guatemala, which reminds me why I want to go back, and no its not Oscar related (mom, I know that is what you are thinking!)

hi Becki, I'm a random visitor to your blog, who was searching for information about numb tongues... and your situation sounds very familiar! I am wondering if you have your sense of taste & temperature back yet? How long did it take? You're right, it makes drinking tea a very odd experience, and everything "tastes" like wax, which is terrible. I hope yours didn't last too long.

I have a family plan so I've heard that can make the overally monthly cost less but I'm not positive. On my family plan, we have an unlimited texting plan already. Does that texting plan carry over if I get the Iphone? I also want internet use. Any estimate at a monthly cost?
