Telephone chat with saveliberty: Since there were rumors that saveliberty was skiing, I called to verify them and she assured me that while she is feeling better and doing fine the rumors of her skiing [or bungee jumping] are without merit.
saveliberty did say she was working on her “happy face”! Because the [temporarily] weakened facial muscles on the right side of her face do not yet fully respond, to get a full smile she has to use her fingers. She promises to let us know when she reaches the goal of a complete and unassisted smile; like this 8)
She is off the exotic medicines and on over-the-counter [OTC] ones. Still having some food issues and her right eye muscles are not fully recovered yet and are causing some problems for reading and such.
But, saveliberty is upbeat and positive as always, and continues on her path to recovery.
Thank you for the update, Foxy.
'Specially liked the encouragement to saveliberty toward achieving her smile "like this 8)". lol.
Saveliberty is sure to be smiling on the inside while she is working on her outside smile.
I once suffered from Bell's Palsy. I know that isn't anything compared to what saveliberty is experiencing, but I can relate to the half smile and the droopy eye. I couldn't get my eyelid to close, so I made an eye patch from Press and Seal plastic wrap to hold the eyelid shut and keep debris out of it. lol.
It will take a bit of time for her; but, so glad she is on the mend. Praying every day for her full recovery.
