Well, it\u2019s day 29 of having Bells Palsy.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s still annoying having to hold my face to be able to talk more clearly, having to only eat certain foods and work hard at even doing that, waking up each morning wondering if it\u2019s gotten any better, having moments where I\u2019m tired of talking but must.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I had another session of acupuncture. Been doing this about three times a week. She brought out the cups. It\u2019s called cupping. Yeah, not that kind of cupping. It\u2019s with glass or plastic cups that are laid on the skin and then the air is\u00a0siphoned\u00a0out of it. It leaves a circular mark. She did it several times. Sort of looks like I had a fight with a vacuum cleaner and it won. Or an octopus got ahold of me.<\/p>\n
So, you could say I was stabbed (acupuncture), siphoned (cupping) and electrocuted (electrical stimulation) all in one session.<\/p>\n
When I left, it was after 5pm and usually there\u2019s someone at the front desk to schedule the next session. But, this time they weren\u2019t there. And I had to go. So I left.<\/p>\n
Should I go back?<\/p>\n
I suppose the key to this is if it\u2019s helping me. I think it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
