The last few days have been horrible for me , worse for my roommate. sun afternoon I was eating when suddenly out of nowhere I realized my lip felt like Id been to the dentist.. had to eat.. numb...scared me... I went to the bathroom mirror and smiled..it was crurketed..then I really was scared... ththen I sweezed my eyes shut only one ...would close..now some of you know what is wrong at this point , but i thought i was having a stroke..I didnt I did get really scared a did call an ambulance an was in Sparrows er in less than1/2 hr-they were very fast..checked me out real good....I have Bells palsy. not a stroke..it stoped ar myface(the paraslysis) and it in cludes my eye (stokes dont Im told)..I am very relived..although half my face is paralized and just drubing and very annyoing to me..Im told if I do as Im told(I am) and take my new meds..It has an 80% chance of full recovery. only problems are.Imy eye will not close without me using my hand to close it..do you know how offten you blink?! and of course why?!..Its really hard to keep my eye wet ..as it needs to be when I cant blink easily...I supposed to tape it shut..but I also have an alergy to adhesive.I need to talk to my eye doc about how to deal with this..It could be month before my muscle struggle impproves..and I cant keep taping it closed...Its itchy.. makes me crazy.
ok now to the second half of this story...the much worse half... I asked my roommate to take my/dan's car to thehospital to pick meup to bring me home..now she has been extremlemly stressed (much more than I ever realized) and she doesnt know the area very well and got lost and ended up more than an hour from home at which point the car broke down! she was lost ..couldnt find her cell phone .no money..no isea what to do..after she didnt come home all night( got a ride through the church(thankyou gary -these people are great!) I called the police.they wouldnt do anything she hadnt been missing long enough..dispiste I knew something was very wrong! she wouldnt do this!!! so I waited the 24 hrs and called them again ..they fould her in 12 hrs ...only because of the car and the kindness of strangers(Christians ) in Marshall took care of her and then shent her home.. Im still working at getting the car towed home..(hence the 200 dollars.) I talked to my roommate and she doesn't even remember alot of what happened ..we are getting her help.
pray for money to pay the church back, I believe they are going to loan me the money to get the car home ..pray they can get it to me in cash this morning. then I can get the car home after that Im going to try and find someone to look at it here and seehaow bad it is and then go from there.. in the mean time I have to figure out transportattion and stuff...just pray please.
