Day 19 -- Getting better a little bit every day!

My left eye can blink on its own now! It used to not be able to blink it without the right eye blinking too. My smile is opening up a little more too. I can eat, drink and speak completely fine now. No headaches or jaw pain. My hearing is still slightly amplified, but not bad at all. Pretty stoked at how quickly I'm recovering!

Day 18 vs Day 19

Day 18 -- Smile

Not bad. Not bad at all...

(Don't mind Conan's head)

Day 17 -- ditched the eyepatch last night

I feel great! I don't even care about the BP anymore since its not really effecting me anymore. I'm not fully recovered but I don't have any pain or complications speaking. I went to bed without the eyepatch last night too! YAY. Today is a busy day. I'm excited to be able to participate in it.

Day 16 -- weightlifting again!

I'm able to go on with my normal life at this point in recovery! I started weightlifting again today and it felt AMAZING. Hopefully, it won't take too long to get back into my pre-BP bod. I also had a job interview and got asked to come back tomorrow for an interview with the GM. So, my dead face must be healing well if barely anyone notices! HOORAY.

Day 15 -- cranial sacral massage! I'm one million times better right now

Yesterday, I visited my friend and massage therapist to get a cranial sacral massage. He detected my cerebral pulse/rhythm because it says a lot about what my body needs. He said my rhythm felt like it was trying to turn off and in desperate need of a reset. So, he turned it off for me and instantly put me to sleep. After the massage, my splitting headache and jaw pain was gone. When I woke up early this morning, my face wasn't stiff at all, I had zero pain, and my nostril was starting to flair! I fell back asleep and when I woke up again, my eye brow started to lift! This reset he performed triggered my body to start recovering back to normal! I'm seriously in awe. I'd highly suggest finding a cranial sacral massage therapist STAT and have them reset you. I'm excited to see if there's more progress in the morning. Thank God for these magical people!!

Day 15 vs Day 16

Day 14 -- splittin' headaches

The corner of my mouth is still moving. It feels like it may be moving more but that could just be me being optimistic. I've been having real bad headaches in the back of my head and jaw. I cannot wait for those to go away.

Day 12 -- Driving all day

Today I'm taking a five hour trip north. My eye is strong enough to cooperate so I guess that's a really good sign!
