uh huh, uh huh, oooo… (Pixies)

Well. The Bell’s Palsy is a pain in the ass. It has made it impossible for my right eye to blink normally. In order to close my right eye… I have to *consciously close* both eyes. Now this might not seem like a big deal… but over a day of the eye *not* blinking as often as it should be becomes very *fatigued*. Additionally it is somewhat awkward to eat, especially anything you’d normally munch down on, like a sub or a big portion of anything. Half my mouth opens normally the other half is stubbornly uncooperative. My speech is also mildly slurred and gets worse as I get tired. Working 10-12 hours on a project at work nightly is certainly NOT helping. I’ve been hoping for some improvement but there really hasn’t been any. Sigh.
