Bell's palsey really sucks... Ben&Jerry's therapy helped a bit :p

Here I am, writing in the very early morning hours, haven't slept yet. And I can't sleep. Not because of my eye, that closes ok at night, I just have trouble keeping the cornea hydrated by day since I can't blink. But I'm gonna call the doctor for drops or a gel today, promise!

Yes, my face dropped a bit more since everything started. My speech is even worse than it was and things like eating and drinking aren't going too good either. I have been to the doctor on Friday and he told me again it may take up to several weeks or even months to heal and he gave me another appointment for over 2 weeks. He even said the Prednisolone might not even work, and make me depressed. Bloodglucose is through the roof.

How encouraging is that huh? Well I have Prednisolone for one more day and then I'm at least done with that. 

I decided on some therapy today. Ben&Jerry's whole pint therapy! I got me a pint of something new-ish I had seen: Coconutterly Fair. Choco icecream with coconut caramel swirls and chocolatey coconut caramel crunch. Took me almost an hour to finish the whole pint and it was sooooo DELICIOUS!!! Got me in a total sugarrush and I felt happy for a few hours :p

Hey, I promise: I only do something like this when I really really need it! It has been at least 2 years since I ate a whole pint of B&J's! I think I had 1 or 2 of those tiny 1 person tubs in the meantime!

But...damn! I was so happy I finally landed a job and now...I don't know what's gonna happen! I am still in my trial period so I have no idea what the consequences are gonna be... I may even be laid off again :( I'll tell them I'll do anything, as long as I don't have to talk...

*Sigh* Should see if I can get some sleep at least...otherwise I am gonna have a looooong day ahead of me!

You all stay safe and healthy!
Hugz, Anna
