Packy's Place

Well, I went to the ER Quick and painless...except for removing the stickies from monitor pads. Bell's Palsy is the diagnosis. A facial nerve acting up. Some small steroid treatment, may or may not help. Take some pills for a few days.  It should not happen again.  I certainly hope not.

I'm reasonably certain I had a small stroke today.  I woke up, and certain areas of my face would not respond.  After a few hours it was improving some.. even now still some effect.  I spoke, and the wife immediately detected my articulation difficulty. 12 hours of speech in college. It's around 8pm ,  I recently turned 70, I hope that isn't an expiration date. Still some difficulty, navigating my lips around glasses and drinking cups.
