The pain has gone, finally. Well most of it. I can stand it now without having to take a pill. That\u2019s a good sign I think. People say my eye is less droopy and my mouth, also. But, I don\u2019t get my hopes up so easily. However, I do find it easier to eat.<\/p>\n
My right eye (bells palsy side) has been bothering me. More teary and sore. But, I think I tried to rub my eyelid and rubbed my eye. I don\u2019t remember. So, I\u2019m probably to blame for that.<\/p>\n
I tell fewer strangers what I have. Or, I wait until I\u2019m leaving to let them know why I\u2019m mumbling.<\/p>\n
I know I\u2019m eating less and almost sure that I\u2019ve lost weight. A good side affect as I could lose some poundage.<\/p>\n
I find that lately I prefer Burger King chicken nuggets. And I even get the honey mustard sauce. They tend not to be too hot right out of the box. It\u2019s harder to tell when somethings too hot and I\u2019ve burned the inside of my mouth early on. Also, they\u2019re slightly softer than McDonald\u2019s nuggets.<\/p>\n
I have to be careful not to get too grumpy. If the pain increases, I may not notice it and it comes out as Mr. Testy. Usually I just mumble to myself when I\u2019m alone and that\u2019s enough to let the grumps free.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to bed earlier. And I\u2019m still leaving the fan off \u2013 most of the time. Or when I do turn it on, I point it away from me. Less \u201cwind\u201d for my chi. Too much wind \u2013 real and surreal can cause ear problems, I\u2019m told. Sigh.<\/p>\n
So, I think there is improvement \u2013 but gradual. Definitely less pain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
