Acupuncture seems to have handled my pain… it took awhile but I don’t have much pain now. I just can’t over do it or I start hurting again. I am still having terrible insomnia and the vertigo is really bad some days. My mouth has a lot more movement this week. The corner still doesn’t move but I sound better when I talk and I am now able to get my eye almost all the way closed when I try. I have found that just holding my hand over my eye at night works the best for me. I have tried everything else and it just pops open and dries out! OUCH!!! I am feeling pretty depressed; this is hard to deal with. I have had a few visitors and that has been nice. My mom came on her days off to help me and I didn’t want her to go home. I have been doing some artwork again… it is kind of hard to force creativity but it distracts me. I actually finished a really great piece this week! At least I accomplished something.
