It is now day 21 and am I seeing small baby step improvements. My eye is still drooped but it closes on it's own. The ringing in my ear is lessened (still worse at night) and my headache is gone. I still feel very sensitive behind my ear and there is a pulling feeling. I don't have to use Aleve as often (not that it helped much). I am now just taking a sleeping pill so that I get a good nights sleep. I have started taking walks and feel much stronger. My mouth is still crooked but I can brush my teeth and spit a little. I am trying to keep positive thoughts and have resolved that this is going to take months to recovery and pray for full recovery.
