Bell's Palsy

So a couple of weeks ago the left side of my face stared to twitch and then the i noticed that i could not control the left side of my face. I went to the doctor and she said that i have a very mild case of bell's palsy. She listed off a few things that could have triggered it and i had a couple of those things. The main one i think that did it was i had, had a virus the week before and you can get it after a virus. It could have been worse but it was really annoying to try to eat things and i would feel food falling out but my lips would not move to keep it in. It has now been a couple of weeks and it is getting better. I had a follow up appointment today and she said it is 90% better and by next week i should have full movement. Which right now i can barely tell that it is not 100% better. So it is all good.



Bret told me to Squint and smile at the same time. He got a kick out of it.

Sweet! I knew it! Did they give you an antiviral and some steroids? Glad you're better.

How sad!! That would have freaked me out if I couldn't move half of my face! I'm glad it's getting better!
