Day 120 to 126 - Thursday 17th July - Wednesday 23rd July 2003 |

After sculpture class on Thursday I went with two other gals into lower Manhattan to a supply house where we purchased stones for our next project. Mine is a 52 pound piece of white alabaster and I am anxious to begin work on it. |
My RHS increased my discomfort with the heat and humidity in the city and I felt like a limp noodle when we finally returned to Long Island after 6PM. We had two glorious days of sun and heat and then the rains came again! I find that heavy humidity aggravates my vertigo. Anyone else have that? |
My main concern this week has been the feeling that my mouth is reverting to its droop. People tell me it's not too noticeable, but I can FEEL it when I am talking, especially at the end of the day when I am tired. Is this a relapse? |

Here's what I look like, with my eye taped. Have you ever tried putting toothpaste on your toothbrush or pouring orange juice into a glass with only one eye? It takes a lot of compensating for the lack of depth perception, let me tell you! |

As you can see, I can't quite close my right eye completely. The opthomologist still insists that I tape it closed to keep it lubricated. Since at my last visit he said I was improving, I'm doing exactly as he says! |

I still see things wrong with my eye and my smile. My main worry lately is: "Is this as good as it's going to get?" |
