The Accident - One year later

Hello all, 

Well, one year later, I am still here, and all healed up for the most part. 

Still have things on the face that are not quite right. My nose still feels numb, and my sense of smell is not right yet. My left eye socket is still numb to the touch even though it itches a lot. My neck and head (where they come together) are still not right; it hurts every day. Some days are worse than others. It feels like a bucket of cement is sitting on my head, same feeling when I step into a shower, heavy weight on my head, makes my neck hurt. My mouth (upper) teeth are still numb, and my sense of taste is still not there. I am surprised by how much the sense of taste makes us feel full and happy after a meal. I eat and can't taste most of what I eat. My mouth feels like I am trying to chew something like wood instead of food. I chew my cheeks all the time, have to eat very slowly, and be mindful of my cheeks. I NEVER chewed my cheeks like I do now. The doctor who did the face re-do of broken areas said he had to re-break by mouth to put me back together again.  Some of my upper teeth have been pushed in toward the inside of my mouth, where they never were before. He gave me an edge-to-edge bite at the front of my mouth that I have never had in my life. So, it is like eating with someone else's mouth; you can't feel it. The teeth are still numb on the upper, and I feel that they may be dead. Which means somewhere in the future, I may have to have some teeth crowned to save them. 

My left leg, where the huge tear in the leg was, is still numb to the touch, where two huge holes were punched over the knee. My left leg still has a stretch of flesh that is numb from the knee almost to the hip. 

But thank God I am alive and can still walk up and down our steep hill of a yard. I can do all of what I did before the accident.  Thank you, Jesus,

Love and Prayers,
