I was told to expect my forehead and a good portion of my scalp to feel numb for 6 months to a year just from the forehead reconstruction. It's an unfortunate consequence of severing so many nerve endings during these procedures. As long as a major nerve bundle is not cut, most of these nerve ends will eventually reconnect. I have a friend who had FFS several years ago by Dr. O. Her numbness slowly went away over many months, but some connections healed improperly. She explained that when she scratches her nose at a certain spot, she feels it in her scalp. Now that concerns me!
It really irritates me when I hear some people claim that my gender transition is a lifestyle choice. Who would choose to go through the social trials and physical trauma of gender transition if it wasn't a matter of life or death? Yes, it sucks, but, as I see it, it's better than the alternative.
Stay strong, Eva, it will be worth it in the end.
