| cheek less swollen |
Hi... I have some new pics to share. I received an e-mail today saying that my blog and pictures have really helped a fellow human with facial paralysis. That is awesome, cause I wasn't really able to find really good pics and info from someone who has actually gone through with these procedures.
Anywho, I am still swollen in my cheek, but am told by those who don't see me everyday that I am less swollen then before. I have swelling and throbbing in my temple, but it's not noticeable. I tried running... Ah, bad idea. I felt really good as I was running, but afterwards I couldn't walk well because of a groin pain. I was swingin' my leg for a couple days. My scars are diminishing and I feel good.

I had a bi-annual MRI which showed no growth to my little tumor and I meet with an Occupational Therapist tomorrow at UofM. She will give me movements to try on this paralyzed side. Even if I am unable to move anything, my brain is still triggering the info to my nerve and muscle. Whatever helps right?
Other than that, all is well. I am doing lots of art and cooking new recipes. I made sauerkraut from scratch and am in the process of making Kombucha (fermented mushroom tea). It's really good and really good for you. I am focusing on getting tons of nutrition aka vitamins, minerals, probiotics from foods.
Talk soon!
Jill
