Just wanted to let you know I can relate. I had a lymph node removed from the right side of my neck on Friday. It's now Sunday night and the only real issue I have had is that I have an area of numbness (my right ear and a bit of the right side of my face near my ear) that does not seem to improve. I did undergo general anesthesia for the procedure. I am wondering how long this numbness will stick around. It kind of freaks you out when it does not go away. I don't want to talk on the phone on my right side, etc because of the lack of sensation in my right ear. Please let me know how you are doing and if the numbness has decreased.
