Update to face Droop
« on: September 08, 2006, 01:28:49 pm »
I was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday morning.  Was run through every test made or known to man.  I did not havae a TIA or a stroke or Bels Palsey.  My whole right side is dragging now.  I see a couple of different facial muscle specialists next week.  The one doctor put me on high blood pressure meds even though my BP is 105/65.  I couldn't understand what they were saying and they refused to move to the left side of the bed.  Fed up is not the right word for what I am feeling.  I just got home, so now I'm gonna go get some much needed rest.

Dear Brenda:

I cannot imagine how frustrated you must feel.  Take comfort in knowing they DID give you every test known to man.  At least you didn't need to convince them that something was wrong........which is usually the norm with anything AN related.  I am praying for fast answers next week.
