Adventures in Bell's Palsy, Day 9 I noticed some soreness on my paralyzed side today. I was smiling too much today. My muscles there didn't know what to do. I did get out to my Sign Language class. Strange - a class that relies a LOT on facial expressions for context clues. And right before Day 1 of class....Bell's Palsy. I just told them that all the context would be on my right side until further notice. My left side will lookike it is disaproving of your life choices. Instead of a smile today, I went with surprise. Just to show how this affects other facial expressions outside of a smile or laugh. Little things you don't think about. But I do have some good hats. #bellspalsypirate #bellspalsy #bellspalsysurprise #likemyhat #vampirehat #vampyhat #facialparalysis #rightsidestrongside #leftsideonvacation
