To be wonky or not to be wonky......
Yesterday, as I sat on my fat ass doing nothing (which was nice for once...) my tongue felt strange. Now let me put that last comment in context - I have Bell's Palsy, although it is in 'remission' I will always have the 'trigger' to cause another occurrence - therefore a numb tongue is NEVER a good sign.
The first time I felt this sensation I was in the beginning stages of facial paralysis - although I had no idea at the time that was what was happening. This time.....I know.
The philosophical side of me says : Really? A little facial paralysis is nothing. You can recover, you aren't terminal, you can walk, kinda talk and being semi-productive. I could be worse!!!!
The vain and girly side of me says : REALLY!?!?! You are going to fuck up my face days before my wedding. The day I have spent MONTHS and numerous tears, sleepless nights and headaches to PLAN and NOW you wanna play. F**K YOU. All I want are pictures with my husband and family and friends without looking like half my face has melted off. DAMN YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
With this said, I will say that as of know.....I have no visual signs of a recurrence. My tongue is still feeling a little strange. But nothing else is happening.
The irony here folks - is even if it was happening I can't just go to the doctors or take something for it. It doesn't work like that. There isn't much I can do. Some doctors say that by manipulating certain muscles or getting vitamin shots directly in the affected area....help SOMETIMES. But honestly, I would rather suffer through than have a needle in the face or paralyzed by a chiropractor.
So there you have it.....
Wonky Smile is poised for a return performance.
Maybe. Possibly. Not sure yet....
Stay tuned....
