Day 7: NO TALKING!!!

I had to kind of put up a sign today that told everyone at the office that I wouldn't be talking much to do. It didn't work as much as I wanted but they were definitely aware that I was trying not to talk. Why? Because I was in P.A.I.N last night. If I could think of something for each of those letters I would. I took a pain pill and was still in pain. My face hurt to touch. Not a good feeling but I got on up and made it do what it do today.

Ooh, I picked up the patch and eye gook so hopefully I REALLY sleep tonight without my makeshift eye patch. I've really slacked off of the lubricant drops because I can't see, lol. Using both eyes is actually blurry now. It focuses in at some point but ready was kinda weird today too. hmmm, eye doctor in my future?

Lunch was good. I mean really good, lol. While there I figured I'd call the Speech Therapist to see what she thought about the pain. She said it may be the nerves that are trying to start working. I've attributed it to doing TOO much yesterday. I talked more yesterday that I had since last Wednesday. So who knows?! She also said there are some people that actually have to get pain pills for bell's palsy. I think I'll call the doctor. *dialing* Once I finally talked to them they told me to use a hot and cold compress, alternating, for an hour. *check*

I've done my exercises for the day. My speech is really good! I do however feel myself getting agitated when I'm talking to people for a long time. It's like smiling so much that my cheeks hurt. My left cheek gets tired. I'm tired of answering questions but people are still asking or wondering why I look sad "since you're always smiling!". One guy told me today that "you look fine, just looks like someone socked you in the face!" Really? Thanks!

Anyhoo, I finished my pack of steroids this morning. Funny, I try to smile and actually almost feel like I am, but I'm not rally. So yeah, I'm in chill mode and now it's time for dinner. Tomorrow is Wednesday, 7 days later. Still making it do what it do. Oh yeah Daddy, no nutmeg balls!
