You mean he
willfully severed the nerve on the other side of your face?
That's like really really really bad. I have sensitive loss in other places (some recovered, some didn't) and I totally wanted to avoid that on my face - but my chin really needed to be fixed.
Now I'm freaked out about my lip. I never saw such reports of persistent sensation loss about DiMaggio (and I looked hard!) and he also told me he never had any complication like this so it all matched. I pray there's nothing hidden. I pray for more tingling. Tingling is a really good sign. Please tingle fairy, make me tingle some more on the lower lip !!
A surgeon caught lying with a CT scan is like the scenario I fear the most. It happened to me in the past. I should have sued this bastard ass off. I mean, I had xrays before, a scan after, something was obviously messed up badly in there, yet the surgeon refused to admit any wrongdoing. "it must have been this way before but we couldn't see on the xrays". I wanted to say "Are you fking blind??" I was too weak willed back then to do anything like suing.
A nerve severed and confirmed by imagery is really really really bad. Even nerve graft may or may not work depending on the scar tissue that may interfere. That's a microsurgery job and it's costly.
Shedevilcanada, I hope and pray for your recovery. I offer you my deepest sympathy. Sensation loss is one of the worst things ever.
BTW please don't let this slide. If he did say in writing that it was not severed while it was so obvious from the CT scan, that's at the minimum lying to a patient.
