There is not much new to report here. I have been back at work for 5 weeks, and life has been pretty full speed ahead - which is a good thing!
I am getting used to not hearing in my right ear. It is easier in some situations than I expected, and more difficult in others. I am learning to be more assertive about where I sit so I am able to hear people better. Large groups can be overwhelming.
My facial paralysis still persists. The photo above is about all I get for a smile. I try not to be discouraged, and remind myself that it has only been 11 weeks and to be patient!
I am happy to be able to enjoy my family, friends and "normal" day-to-day activities!
Though your smile might not be what you would like it to be, I'm confident that everyone around you is blessed with your heart's smile. I am so totally impressed with your attitude and, IMHO, remarkable recovery. You go, girl!!
