Me and my twisted kisser!

Happy Spring everyone!!  I'm glad winter is over.  It was so unbelievably cold and the snow...oh, the snow.  Wait. What?  That's right, we've had a preemptive spring since the middle of February.  And the official start of spring was anti climatic.  But, what the hey...I'll take it.

And back to our regularly scheduled blog.

I got to see my BDF (Best Doctor Finally) this morning. I am always surprised that we are the about the same height.  In my mind, he is way shorter than me, but whatever. After the pleasantries, we got down to brass tacks.  He asked me to give him a percentage judging how much better I thought my face was since the last time we had met.  WHAT?!?!?  POP QUIZ!!  IN MATH!! HUH??  I said  about 20%. I have no idea. I failed statistics.

After a ten second facial massage from Dr. CD (with his COLD hands), he deemed that everything was "feeling" fine.

 

 Great.  I talked to him about the pins and needles and he said some medical terms. I caught "nerve, cutting, regeneration." Side note- About three weeks ago, I got sudden burst of feeling in my face.  It's not as numb, just dulled. I can feel pressure and stinging sensations every so often.  It's weird.  Still can't sleep fully on my left side. 

Then I had to do the facial check.  Smile. Frown. Wink. Blink. Scrunch your nose. Open your mouth.  I passed every test, except for the smile. Whomp, whomp.   Dr. CD said that my frown looked really great. Thanks...I practice every day! 

And for the less exciting news. Dr. CD was expecting more progress with the smile. As was I doctor, as was I.  I did practice. Honestly.  Unlike when I used to mark 30 everyday in my practice book for band back in the 5th grade when I really didn't.  I made faces on my way to work. At work. From work. At home. In the car.  At church. (I had to be careful there, lest someone thought I had a caught a spirit. And not the good kind.)  When I mentioned that sometimes my lip area will "seize and freeze", Dr. CD said huh...and typed that into the notes of my electronic chart.  Bet he wasn't expecting that.

He said he'd see me again in July and see where things are.  If things are not better, then we can explore options. 
Me: What other options, Dr?
(See I had learned my lesson from before and was prepared with tons of medical questions)
Dr. CD: I would send you to a plastic surgeon with the University of Maryland.

WHAT?!??!?  No. Mo. Cuttin!

UNLESS, my doctor looked like this!

  Or this...


Either one. I ain't picky.


So, my friends, this is it for now.  Until the next time my folks!

Oh, here are some photo comparisons of what I looked like before and after!  Some improvement, yes?
