Day 2 - Tickets reworked and flying

Okay, I got tickets reworked. Flying back to Atlanta. Got up, did the breakfast. Checked out of hotel. Went to Whirlpool office to see Satish.

Started driving at 11:00. Stopped on way at Good Neighbor Pharmacy (Schlipp's Pharmacy) to get eye taped as it was giving me blurred vision. Pharmacist helped me tape the eye and started driving to Chicago with one eye.

Drove under the limits. Removed the tape half way thru. Reached Airport safely. Flying back home..
Let's see what happens when I reach home.

Day 2 - Wide Awake

The reality sets in. I got Bell's Palsy (or something similar). Need to see a doctor. Called up Satish to find a doctor. Also called up wife and told her. Not sure if she understands it fully, but she seems scared as I am. Called up regular physician's office in Atlanta... He is recommending to see someone locally. Lakeland at St. Joseph, MI wouldn't see me... is suggesting to go to Emergency Room. Finally got appointment of Dr. Smiy at 2:40 PM.

Went to Whirlpool Office. Nothing much happening. Palsy is the discussion.

Seen Dr. Smiy. Confirmed as Bell's Palsy... Family insists on returning back. Started on medicines as suggested. Taking Presnidone, using refresh plus, got some eye drops, eye patch and some food. Taking rest. Got tickets reworked.

Got some dinner and motrin.

Day 1 - Driving Into Michigan - Unnerved

Got up at 4. Took the flight at 8. Drove 90 miles from to St. Joseph to Michigan.
The ear pain of previous night is gone.

4:00 PM: Can feel something right above the right eye. Can not pinpoint what it is.
6:00 PM: Looks like getting something here ... movement of right chic and lips is affected. Also eyes are affected.
7:00 PM: It has completely set in finally. Shock. Fear. Haven't told the family. Hoping that it will go away, I fear if it is Bell's Palsy.. hope not...
8:00 PM: check-in to hotel, trying to rest and clear the mind

Tingling Sensation and Pain around ear

There is an acute pain around right ear with a tingling sensation. Some bit of massage will possibly help.
