Drama...

Last Tuesday afternoon while I was at work I noticed that I was having a hard time moving the right side of my face. I really didn't think it was a big deal even though when I would take a drink of water and it would drip out the right side of my mouth. Again, that didn't alarm me. Doesn't everyone spit water when they drink? Then that night while I was on my way to my book club I noticed that I couldn't feel the right side of my face nor close my eye. And when I smiled, only the left side moved. I told my friend Kim about it and she said it sounds like I have Bells Palsy. Then Wednesday morning, while at work, my tough went numb. That finally scared me enough to call the doctor. And it turns out I have a mild case of Bells Palsy. Although it's been really nice to be able to put on mascara or put my contact in without my eye moving, it's pretty weird to look in the mirror and only see one of my eye's blink. I am really glad it's only a mild case because when I looked it up online... it freaked me out. It is getting better and I should be back to "normal" by the end of the month.
