Pop rocks at 4 months

I used a new description to describe to a coworker what my mouth feels like - periods of non-improvement followed, almost out of the blue, by a feeling like I've got Pop Rocks. Those are nerve endings being rejuvenated, I'm told. Look, at this point, as odd a sensation as this is, I'll take progress in whatever shape or form it occurs. I still feel like I'm at 85% of where I was, and it just requires more patience to endure the run to the finish line.
