We've all experienced a numbing trip to the dentist; we've also experienced trying to drink from a straw when we're all numbed up, too. Now, think of having the same difficulty when you're not full of novocaine. How can that be, you ask.
Try a bout of Belle's Palsy. I had that wonderful experience eight years ago. What a pain. Being a guy, I put off going to the doctor for a day, which allowed the nerve that controls the facial muscles on my right side to swell up all the more, making things worse.
I started the tale-tale signs of another episode this afternoon. I headed for the nearest InstaCare place lickety-split. The doctor gave me a prescription for an anti-inflammatory drug. Hopefully, this will head a full-blown problem off at the pass.
Luckily, it is on the left side this time. That means I can still squint out of my right eye to see through my camera's view finder.
