Gaining some perspective ...

We take many things in life for granted; eating, drinking, talking, smiling, moving … the simple fact that our eye-lids close automatically in protection against outside elements. Suddenly those natural things that we so with so much ease is taken away and it can leave you floundering and frustrated.

A week and a half ago, I was diagnosed with

Bells Palsy

Wow! Incredible! I've known people that had a bout with that bitch and they all came out fine. One was a co-worker and she took like 6 months off of work and I know for a fact she didn't need to. lol

Everything you said is absolutely true. I've got you on my prayer list anyway, so I will add this to the things I pray about for you.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and sending love and hugs.

I wasnt sure people would even see a new post since I dont think I have posted here since 2014 lol But I have a lot on my mind these days so thought it might be good to get it out of my head and on "paper" :)

Thank you for your prayers. I know life goes by quickly and it can be hard to keep in regular contact. But know I love both you and Ray a lot and think of you often. We probably due for another call soon, right? Maybe when I can talk properly again though haha

As for this condition ... ughh ... It's horrible and if your co-workers recovery took months? You're right, she probably didnt need the time off work but experiencing this? I can understand why she wouldn't want to venture out to work. It makes you not want to go outside to be around people because your 100% conscious of how you look and feel 100% of the time. It's crazy.

But hopefully mine will be a speedy recovery. And thank you for your prayers. I love you. Thank you <3

Never heard of that before. There are so many diseases out there that we don't know about.

Sleeping with a tape on your eye/face must be horrible!

You're so right, we don't know what you have until you lose it. Or cannot do it for a while. Because it will be a while and not forever. You have such a positive take on life, it will help you get through this I'm sure.

I'm sending you positives thoughts and vibes and hope you will feel better soon.

*HUGS* Oh how I wish I could give you real hugs and not virtual....

[lovinjackson]

I'll tell ya ... it's horrible. It doesnt sound like a massive deal but then surprises you because it is lol. I'm trying to put this down as a learning experience. It will certainly be something I never forget.

Thank you for your well wishes and hugs. Virtual are just as important as the real ones. I love you, my friend <3
