If you all remember I came down with Bell's Palsy on Halloween night. I woke up the next morning and the left side of my face was paralyzed. I am not seeing much improvement at all. I went to the eye doctor yesterday and he said my eye looks good. I have to constantly put drops in it and keep it sealed at night because it doesn't close the whole way and there is no blinking. He said I don't need to go back till March for a followup there. I go to the neuro for a followup on Monday. Before this all started my tongue was sore on the left side. This morning I woke up and my tongue is sore on the right side, so of course I'm paranoid that the right side will become paralyzed too. I just had a very very bad day yesterday. I cried the whole way to work from the doctor. Had two crying jags at work and just had a crappy day. The girls at work told me that I have been such a trooper through this all, but yesterday was just a bad day in general. DH has been sick all week, my mom is very sick with the craziest sounding cough I've ever heard, and now DH spent most of the night with my Dad in the ER because he has been having such severe nose bleeds. I try not to be a downer too much but girls I could use a good shot of prayers right now. I told my hubby that it may sound vain, but I just want to be able to smile again. I'm a bubbly happy person most of the time, and it is very hard to only be able to smile with half a face. I know it could be worse, but I'm just bummed right now. Thanks for listening.

KIM!
We all know you're smiling on the inside even if your face isn't working quite right!
I am hoping and praying this malady will just go away one of these days!

Sending hugs and prayers your way. Both my step-father and DH's sister had bouts with Bells Palsy several years ago so I can understand how hard it is for you. I hope you can smile again soon.

HUGS,

We all need to let it go sometimes. It isn't healthy to leave it all bottled up inside. I do hope that your body mends soon so you can share your pretty smile. Sending hugs and prayers.

Oh Kim, I am so sorry that you are going through all of this. You are not a complainer -- I had forgotten about your episode of Bells Palsy on Halloween.

Should you get a second opinion? That might make you feel better. I'm sure the stress of family members isn't helping you at all. Don't forget to take care of YOURSELF as well as those around you -- you strike me as a true caretaker. You need to let someone take care of you, too.

You'll be in my prayers,

Nancy

Thanks girls for all the kinds thoughts and prayers. It helps so much. My Dad is still feeling pretty bad today. He has an appt at the ENT on Monday to get the plugs removed from his sinuses/nose. Ugh. Poor guy. I feel better about life today on my end though. thanks so much. Keep praying and believing that I'll wake up one day and be healed!

My thoughts and prayers are with you... and a suggestion. After A stroke I had a year and a half ago I lost a lot of vision in my right eye and had nerve damage to my face.. I waited and waited for a lot of it to come back and it did not... so I went to see an acupuncturist I thought if Western Medicine can't help me out I am trying Eastern, through acupuncture I did regain a fair amount of my vision not all and some muscle function on the right side of my face (my smile is still lopsided though).. I would suggest trying some alternatives if there is nothing more they can do.

Cheers and God Bless!
