I just bumped one of my own off the list to make room for that! I'm glad your Bell's Palsy didn't last too long. I've heard of it, sounds awful! RealEstateMomOf4,

And I have a "thick jaw" (nice and feminine, eh?) with lots of extra nerves, so says the dentist, so it takes 6-8 shots of numbing to get me good and pain-free. Unfortunately I have reactions to the epinephrine they put in Novocaine, so I can only have 2 shots of that and then SEVERAL of the less-effective ones. It's awful. Blech. Yuck. Glad you can have fun with yours though! :-) Off to brush. And floss. Oh, I hate that feeling.

The left side of my face was completely paralyzed... and yes, numb. You need to add, "try whistling" to that list! Lol. It was horrifying, but I have a good sense of humor so I made the most of it. I looked absolutely awful, and I'm sure I scared small children and animals during that time, ( I also had to wear an eye patch because I couldn't blink my eye...) but my favorite joke was that I was certain to not get wrinkles on the left side of my face that way! Whistling was part of my physical therapy for trying to get the muscles to respond to movement again. The last time I had a filling I had flashbacks to the memory of having half of my face frozen in time!!! Talk about a double anxiety attack... like going to the dentist isn't bad enough!
