we found out on tuesday that i have bell's palsy....for those of you that have no idea what that it (that would include myself just a few days ago) it is " form of facial paralysis...that results in the inability to control facial muscles on the affected side" (thank you Wikipedia.) i can't shut my right eye, my smile is droopy, i don't taste things very well and i do a killer frowny face.
we went into the doctor and everything should turn out fine. i can do some amazing faces. i am still debating about whether or not to put them online. i keep googling bell's palsy and i see the same guy come up on the searches and to honest, i don't want to be that guy. the image just kind of sticks with you:) my case is pretty minor and my doctor seems to think that i should recover and be back to "normal" in a few weeks.
anyways...during this whole ordeal....all i can think about is how much i love my husband. he is so sweet and sensitive to let me know that he thinks i am beautiful even when my face looks a little freaky. i am so grateful for him. i am grateful that we can laugh through this together. i am the luckiest girl....ever!

My aunt got this and she recovered- I think you will, too! I'll pray for you. :)
Lacey Campbell totally had this! So, do you sleep with one eye open? I'm totally laughing at this, but I'm happy to hear it should clear up soon. Pretty please post a pic, or e-mail me one. I'd do it for you! Love ya
