Ok. I didn't know what category to put this in so I guess this is just as good as any...lol I am 4 weeks post op tomorrow. I understand that it takes heaps and heaps of time to heal from such a major surgery, however, certain things are creeping up on me and it's just got me wondering what the heck. I'm a borderline hypochondriac...(lol?) and worry wart. I think this may have been here all along but haven't noticed as my AN side has been so numb since surgery. Well, some of that is coming back and I have this odd bruised feeling on my ear..(not in my ear canal)...it would be on the inner upper portion (like right below where you would get your cartilage pierced)... I don't feel the "bruising" (if that is what I'm feeling), unless I'm pushing up on my cheek..(which I do often for massaging my paralysis side)... that action makes me feel the "bruising"... or if I grab the top lob of my ear and pull back (which isn't a normal thing I do...lol.. but...) I also feel it. Just wondering if this sounds like just everything still healing and getting back on track.... I let my mind wonder in all sorts of directions and than that just gives me anxiety.... I keep thinking they sutured me back up "wrong".... stretched my skin too tight.. .all these crazy things. Anyone else have this feeling during healing???
