Post: Fighting against Bell's palsy (part-1) #76

My left side of my face which includes eye and mouth is a little deformed because of facial paralysis now. I guess it's Bell's palsy. I had noticed the symptom at the PTG last Friday. But I had never thought about that. I was just thinking I got too much tear drops from my left eye. But next day, I went to the Denver downtown area, and took some building photos with my camera (not phone). And I realized I couldn't close my left eye. And then, I also realized that I couldn't rinse my mouth smoothly because the water leaked out from my left side mouth. But that's all. There is no other deformed such as hands, arms, legs, etc. I think I should have seen a doctor in Denver immediately, though. I just hesitated that. I was thinking it was not urgent.

Now, I go to a clinic to get put on the IV for the treatment everyday in Japan. And I can't still blink my left eye. It makes my eye dry, it's annoying. So, I hope it will be better little by little, day by day :)
