Day 25: We'll say 60%

I actually can't gauge what percentage I've really recovered. Anyway, it's been a few days since I wrote anything in here so here goes. It's Mardi Gras weekend so I've been enjoying myself this week/end. I was talking to KJo on Friday night about my Bells Palsy and she was like, "Had you not said anything I wouldn't have known - I just thought you had a lazy eye!" *snicker*

I've been doing my exercises and going to therapy. There's some more movement in my face and eye but everything is definitely not all there. But it's coming along. There is surely something going on with my ear. Last night at the concert, when I yelled it was muffled. I don't know if it has something to do with the Bells or if there's some form of infection. Ear infections hurt though don't they? Either way, I must make an appointment for the doctor - remind me! LOL BUT I did not need to use the ointment last night and I thought I would have, having been out in the element.

This morning I had to use it a couple times but still things were going well. I took the drops with me to the Krewe of Bacchus parade in New Orleans this afternoon and felt some 'dryness' but nothing a rub of the eyelid didn't cure. By the end time we were on our way back home I think I was just tired. I DO feel like I'm progressing but I know there are areas that are still not moving as much as they were or should. I'm working on it though.
