walking on the Greenway, Bell's Palsy

 Bell's Palsy
Been three weeks now.
While I improved a little,
the left side of my face is still paralyzed
and my mouth is still  contorted to the right.
Still taking prednisone.
MRI scheduled in Hickory for 9/7/18.
The rear of my head on the left side
aches quite a bit especially at night.  

 

I certainly enjoy my buddies.

been practicing with camera

a few pics & Bell's Palsy

 

Well, as we get older,

life really likes to throw stuff at ya.

At the moment,

I have Bell's Palsy.

From what I have read,

I will likely make a full recovery,

although my doctor just seems

concerned. I am a 62 yr old diabetic.

I am on Day # 10

and 2nd week off large doses

of Prednisone.  The left side of my

face is paralyzed, no changes yet but

each time I wake up I try to form a whistle.

I am thankful for drinking straws,

so I can get fluids in me.

However, water tastes very metallic so

I add in some grape-flavored electrolytes.

While I would like to get over this,

there are many diagnoses that could be much

worse than Bell's Palsy so I am grateful

that I am vertical, able to eat, enjoy
my animals, etc.

After losing Bitzi,
Bunny has turned out to be
such a joy in our lives.
although we've always loved terriers,
first time having a Scottie,
she is smart, obedient, easy to train,
an easy keeper.

Now, is she a fiery terrier?
Absolutely!

Buzzard has a big coat
but last time he was at the groomer
she had to shave him because
Bunny constantly chews on him
and it matts his hair.
