I have noticed that you want to recruit individuals . . . Is this a challenge . . .
If so, what do I need to do?

Hey Sherry. You will be in my prayers...I know several people that have had Bells Palsy. Did they say how minor or severe it is? I worked with a guy who woke up that way and after a matter of a few days it started diminishing where you couldn't even tell...but he said it took about a month to be back to completely normal. I think it depends on the severity as to the amount of time it takes for the nerves to recover. Hopefully you will recover in no time....think positive

Sherry I am so sorry that things are not going well for you right now. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. ((((((((((((((Sherry))))))))))))))

Dreamsicle · April 13th, 2008, 03:43 PM

marie ,jely, renee and carmen thanky ou so much for the thoughts and prayer they mean so much.The docotr said it is from a middle ear infection that has swollen and pressing against my 7th cranil nerve ( facial nerve) he said that as far as getting back to normal it will take time it depends on how damaged the nerve is he said I have to go to rehab to try to learn how to use my muscles again. It is so hard to drink something without it getting on my.. it is really frustrating and depressing and I go through times of getting so mad and then I cry. he said that there is a high chance of it going away but not to get my hopes up because there are times when somethings dont change it a few signs will be permanent and then few people dont heal at all.A girl friend called me and told about a girl she worked with got it and they told her it would go away but her face is like that still 2 years later ( I thought that was kinda crappy of her to tell me that so soon) she not a really good friend. I try to stay optimistic and think positive thoughts it is just really hard. I dont know if I told any of you before but my life hasnt been so great... when I was just starting to walk my mom left me ouside with some people who had a camp fire burning and did not watch me.. I walked right over to it and bent down picked up some sticks burned my hands I had surgery from 3 up to 14 years old.. my mother wasnt best mom in the world she was young and didnt wants kids she tried to get an abortin bu my grandmother wouldnt let her , she tried to put me up for adoption but my grandmother would let her my aunt was 13 nd she took better care of me then my mom.. then when I was 7 she met my second step dad married and that was amistake.. he abused me til I was 15 everyway you could think of my little brother and I was sent to foster care home after being there for a little while my litle brother left to go live with his grandfather and I was still there at the home which I promise you it was like the cinderella story no joke without the prince.. the state shut their home down I went to live with a lady accross the street for a year then my best friend for a year then on my own got a job and apt at age 18 It has been really hard I have my husband and my little brother but that is it my mother had a chance to get us back because she wasnt guilty of anything when I was 16 but she just disappeared.. it is liek she has so much guilt.. I found her a few times but she keeps moving so at age 19 I let bigons be bigons and left everyone behind all I keep in touch with is my brother.My husbands family dislikes me because he was dating a girl before he met me and she became pregnant he tried to work it out with her but they couldnt get a along his little girl was 1 when I met him she is now fixing to turn 9 I have been there almost all her life and I am really good to her.. but they didnt want my husband to be with anyone but her.. so the family thing isnt so much up my alley all though I would give anything to have a warm hug from my mother right now..I feel like saying what else... what else is going tohappeen to me because I dont feel I cant take anymore I just feel really crappy right now and I apologize to those of you that feel I gave TMI but to those of you that read thank you .. you mean alot to me. I wish you all the best! Sorry it there are typos hard to see with one eye

Dreamsicle · April 15th, 2008, 08:53 PM

anyone watching biggest loser finale? I can not believe alli!! she looks great!!

gottadothis · April 16th, 2008, 12:26 AM

Sherry... My uncle went through the same thing a few years back and had a full recovery, so do not let what your friend said get you down it is very likely you will recover so keep taking it one day at a time.. you are going to be fine... but his had to do with his ear and everything it was scary because we thought he had a stroke.. it did take a while for him to fully recover but today you would never know it... so keep your spirits up

I totally get where you are coming from with your unfortunate past(to say the least) and you are so strong for getting through that all with your head on straight just imagine the great things that are ahead of you. Try not to let the past stuff enter your present as bad as it stinks what you are going through right now all those things will only make it seem a lot worse and make it all seem like a heavier burden. You are going to walk through this with your head held high even if you only see out of one eye and drink and spill and know that when this is over you are going to be stronger and not take your health for granted.... you deserve to vent to us all you want because right now your situations ****s but I am so proud of you for looking toward the future and not letting this get your too down.. I am so glad you shared with us...
By the way I totally missed the finale and I am so upset... my husbands b-day was today and we had dinner plans with family if I would have realized the finale was tonight i would have totally reschedule his birthdya...lol

Dreamsicle · April 16th, 2008, 01:30 PM

Gotta thank you for that reply! I needed to hear that! It did scare me when it happened that is what I look like.. kinda looks like a little stroke. they have me on antibiotics for my ear infection.. my face is getting sore .. feels kinda like a bruise I am hope that is good maybe it means there is sensations getting back to normal ( fingers are crossed) lol It was a real shocker but I realize I can not sit and dwell on this!! Just as you said it wll only feel worse.. there is no forward if I keep it in reverse.
Just as you all know I have been looking for a job.. well I am waiting on the biolife plasma lady to call me say I have the job.. well I applied for a teller job at a bank can you believe I have an inteview tomorrow at 1:15 not sure how that is going to turn out!!! but you know what I am going to go anyways and let them knw what happened.. and in the end still hold me head up high

The Lord will take care of me .. he always have I have faith.. I believe this happened to me for a reason... I feel as if I am going to be changed for the better.. not that I am a bad person but.. you knwo what I mean.. it has opened my eyes to a lot and especially liek you said my health!!! I have always put myself last.. now I need to start thinking of me because Iam 30 and could suffer a heart attck at any moment you never knwo what will happeen tomorrow!! I love you all and for you to take time and write something so caring means so much! I feel much closer to you now

I guess venting on that stuff I wrote was something I ahd to get off my chest.. the only one to hear it is my husband and I dont like to upset him he has been more then helpful and worried.Thank you ... Please continue to pray for me

Happy birthday to your hubby! But girl alli won!! She was soooooooooooo tiny.. man I hope I can get like that... I ahve a little challenge added now.. hey say those steroids make you gain... my fingers are crossed it dont come one too strong!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful blessed day!

~love sherry

gottadothis · April 16th, 2008, 02:00 PM

The sterioids might make you gain because that is a side effect but just take it with ease knowing you are still eating right and doing the right things and it will come off when the steriods are cut out.. good luck at your interview tomorrow.. and it is a very good thing that you are getting sensation back.. any feeling at this point is a good feeling... that is good news... take care of yourself

Dreamsicle · April 17th, 2008, 11:06 AM

Just wanted to check in with everyone.. how are you all doing? It is a beautiful day here in mississippi!!
