Bell's Palsy

Wednesday, July 24th, I noticed that my eyes were watering like crazy and I had trouble eating my Panera sandwich.  When I woke up Thursday morning(the 25th), I couldn't blink my left eye and that same side of my mouth wasn't working at all.  I was super upset.  I knew what Bell's Palsy was, but was in denial that I had it.  But I did.

I spent a lot of time crying over it.  All while worrying that I was ridiculously vain for crying over it. I spent a LOT of time researching it-more than I ever did for my Master's.  There is no known cause.  There are several theories, but nothing definite. There is also no timeline for healing anywhere. Everything says 3 weeks to a year.  A YEAR!

 I've been taking weekly pictures to keep up with my progress.  I'm almost 6 weeks out and things are definitely better, but I'm still not back to 100%.
