Nerve recovery: We are covered with a lacy network of nerves that give us sensation in addition to the big nerves that come from deep down and spread out onto the skin like a tree. When the skin is cut, that surface network of nerves is interrupted giving you some numbness. You can probably expect complete recovery, but it will take time. Some incisions never regain full sensation, though...
