Well, I had my follow up visit this morning at the neurologist for my Bell's Palsy. I was pretty disappointed when I left the office. He said that my eyebrow is doing well, that I can lift it much more than before. However, he isn't seeing a very big difference otherwise. I don't go back for 6 months now. He said there is a surgery that isn't very successful to help repair the damage. (no thank you). He said that 10% of the people who get this do not recover. Please please pray that I am not in that 10%. He thinks that my recovery will be very slow. He said if I take a pic of myself now and one in six months I will notice a difference, but that I won't just looking at myself in the mirror each day. I cried the whole way home and when I got home to Dh I cried and cried. My husband is so supportive through all this. I'm sure am glad I have him to help me through this.

I'm sorry you are going through this. I'll continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Have you reached out to anyone to see if you can get a 2nd opinion or anything?

Remember, that even though you may not like the way you look on the outside right now, you're beautiful on the inside!
Oh, and you make pretty cards, too!

Hoping that you'll be able to see the difference in 6 mos and all will be back to normal. Hang in there and I'm so glad your dh is there for you and we are too.
