Facial Paralysis – Part One

This morning I got a phone call from the dentist – they had a cancellation and were wondering if I wanted to get on with the drilling. I cancelled my Japanese practice and went in. I figure, might as well get it over with. I had two cavities filled, and it went really well. It’s a pretty simple thing, and it was fun to listen to the dentist and assistant talk about the tools they use and the lingo they throw around. So now I’m in front of the computer typing with drool running down the side of my face – the difference today is that I have a medical reason for it.

In the front yard today a doe and fawn were hanging out, relaxing and staring at me through the window. I snapped a couple of pictures, but when I let Maggie and Sadie out to investigate, they took off.

I’m off to figure out what I can eat tonight that won’t slide out of the paralyzed side of my mouth.
