Thanks Fayon for the reminder to wear my eye patch to sleep. Only problem, I was already asleep, lol, AND I didn't see your message until this morning. I asked myself, as I lay in bed, "I wonder if I can get a good night of sleep without the eye patch?" Somehow between thinking about getting up to get the patch and closing my eyes I fell asleep. When I woke up the next morning I realized I'd actually slept through the night. I don't think I opened my eyes one time during the night. That's impressive, given the last few weeks of mid-night-wakings. What was odd about the whole thing is that my left eye (unaffected) was red this morning. So I couldn't really tell if I got a good night of sleep or not. I'm going to go out on a limb and say NOT considering I'm still SO tired right now.
Anyhoo, TODAY IS MARDI GRAS (the last day)!! yay?! I went to therapy this morning and we went through the exercises and e-stim. She measured how much my eye is closing again. It's down to about a two but there's still a sliver of an eye opening when I close it. I have to squeeze to get it to close all the way, but it does. WHOOT! One other thing that's weird to me is when I smile or open my mouth, my lower jaw/cheek area feels tight. Almost as if it's swollen. She just told me if it feels like that, take my fingers and stretch it out. One catch, my cheek, as fleshy as it is, hurts when I apply too much pressure. That area right there, whew. Even my cheek bone hurts when I touch it too hard.
Ok so, to make sure I get a better night of sleep I'm going to wear my patch tonight.
