Well it has been a weird week. I got a call from my ENT’s office on Tuesday and apparently he has taken an “emergency person leave” and they had to change all of my appointments. I will be seeing a new doctor and I have mixed feelings about it. I am bummed because I know my doctor but I am also excited to get some fresh opinions.

My leave from work has been extended to the 6th of November. I will go back part time for a few weeks and then be back to normal duties. I am looking forward to getting back to work. I am going crazy at home… or at least I would be if I had to energy to devote to such things.

I am seeing a little improvement in my face each day now. I am noticing that I don’t have to work quite as hard for the little bit of motion that I am getting as I did when it started last week. My eyebrow has a little wiggle in it now too! Not much but I have missed my eyebrow (the one that is paralyzed is the one that I can raise on it’s own) my son has to. He calls it the people’s eyebrow and told me that is how he knows how much trouble he is in.

I have been having a lot more pain this week… it definitely seem to correlate with the improvements that I am having. I have asked around it the RHS chat and I posted a poll today (I think I did anyway… this is the first time I have tried) but it does seem like I am not the only person that is having this happen. I am also really tired this week! I mean really tired! I guess that my body is just using all of its energy to heal so I don’t have much for anything else.

I have also been having some strange twitching in my ear… I can hear it and feel it. It is mostly when I lay down and it doesn’t hurt but it sure is annoying! Drives me buggy! I will ask the new doctor about it when I see him.

I did learn something new this week… I need ear muffs badly! I walked to the mailbox and the wind was blowing and it hurt my ears big time!!! Keep your ears covered in the wind!
