4 ½ weeks post surgery. This morning I was noticing very subtle changes in my face as I had my head to the pillow and I was holding a hand mirror. Never did I know how excited I would get to start seeing some wrinkles appear and bags (to match the other eye) on my facial palsy side.
I lay in bed and opened and closed the palsy eye (however blinking is not there yet ) but of course once I got up (and walked around) the open/closure action in the palsy side stopped … but hey it was "a sign� that it can function and was not just “the palsy roll� of the eye.
This morning I notice that my mouth was less droopy on the palsy side and decided to brave using a straw (which I have not been able to do since surgery) and I sipped my ENTIRE glass of Carnation instant breakfast through the straw. I think I am almost there now- to start puckering up and blow kisses. (Smirk tease)
The non AN folks say “oh that is nice� but some how I think my AN family , on the forum, might want to have a little celebration party with me here.
Cheers,
