This is my blog (story) of my 'battle' with Bell's Palsy. Since I'm not with family and friends, what better way to make sure they are always up to date with what's going on. Note: The blog is listed backwards so you'll want to start from the beginning/bottom.

Day 21: I think I can...
"..I think I can, I know I can, I will!" Yep, I'm still chugging right along. There's been more progress within the last day which is really surprising. There's more movement in my cheek that yesterday. There's still not much going on with my forehead or eyebrows which is odd because that's the area she said comes back the fastest for more people. Guess I'm not using my forehead muscles enough (frowning,lol). My eye didn't feel the best today. That could be because I didn't sleep much last night and it was tired. It had the gritty feeling most of the day which is very uncomfortable when I"m trying to lubricate it and close it. (moving around under the eye lid did NOT feel good)
Anyhoo, I'm impressed with how things are moving along this week. Funny store though, I was talking to one of the clients today and in mid sentence he asked, "Bells Palsy?" and I'm like, yeah, three weeks now. It's amazing how people can immediately recognize it. I'm sure it's more in my eye that gives it away and maybe some of the pull on my lips. But yeah I thought wow!
But err um yeah, that's all I have to share tonight. Tomorrow is therapy.

Interesting...did the client know someone who has it or just knew the signs? Are you massaging your forehead as well when you rub your jaw? Yup exercises can help...gritty eye feeling is not cool!
ReplyDeleteThe client has had it before so he knows the signs. yes I am massaging my forehead. My exercises actually start with the eyebrow, forehead area.
