Day 8: Did You See That?

That's right? There was a hint of movement today at the curve of my lip. I'm so excited about that. Now for a recap of the day.

Well, last night I actually turned it in sort of early, and I'm talking 9pm early. I guess you could say I was tired but waking up at 1am was not the business, lol, and then again and some time I'm not sure of because I refused to open my eyes. I used the ointment last night and put the bandage on for sleeping. It works but it doesn't. I need to get it just right for my eye to stay closed. If not, my eye will be opening up underneath it which pretty much defeats the purpose. I can't really lay on the right side of my face which sucks for sleeping.

Anyhoo, this morning I put the lubricant in my eye but still felt some burn so I wore the eye patch for the first hour. The burning continued which was different from other days. I applied a couple more drops, still not relief. Finally one of my coworkers said, "Just put the bandage on your eye... it's burning because you're cornea is taking a beating!" I want to be able to see after this, even if it is a little blurry right now. So that's what I did. I was rocking the bandage/patch today.

I'm not really feeling this pain in my face though. Not that I was totally in pain today, but I was not enjoying being at work. I felt like I needed to rest my eye from looking at the PC (yes I'm getting off here soon too). Even with the bandage on, that thing is still moving around. I also wanted to come home, pop a pill and relax my mind so I did just that. I was able to fix my ice pack and warm compress.

My MRI came back normal so that's a great thing. My speech is getting better. (yay for those of you that said you didn't notice a difference). My nutmeg ball never came but we've identified why, lol. I have a massage scheduled for tomorrow which I am most excited about. I'm not sure how much I'm going to want to sit with my face in that holster though ugh. I am scheduling an appointment with an eye doctor just in case. They say the blurriness is because of the Bells but sheesh. I don't like that. I feel like I'm straining to see things or having to focus in more.

Progress Report: There is some movement right under my eye (it jumps) and when i smile the curve of my lips actually moves a little. WHOOT! My eye is watering too, which I imagine is a good thing. Too bad my eye lid isn't closing to catch it to moisturize my eye ball, haha. If I strain I can actually get my eye to close more. Too bad I won't be doing that either. (ex-nay on the straining).

Ok, that's enough for tonight.
