First therapy day

I had my first therapy for Bell’s palsy today and the doctors said I would hopefully recover in two to three weeks :) And I believe so! With all the uplifting messages and heartwarming promises of prayers I’ve been getting, who wouldn’t get well?

For today, I had infrared heat to help proper blood circulation. Then they had to electrocute the right side of my face. It was quite painful (it was like getting small, hard punches in my cheeks) but I didn’t mind. I want to get better the soonest possible!

Nixlove and Mommy were waiting outside the PT room at Medical City and seeing them in that situation was amazing. It felt like I was going to give birth! haha :) Too bad I have two people reminding me to eat this fruit, this vegetable. Nyeee. :p

I’m still under medication but there have been some improvements. Though I still can’t control the right side of my face, small facial muscles have been moving involuntarily and that means they’re now on the verge of waking up. hehe :)

Again, thanks everyone! And relax! :)
