Our Mexico Team arrived home yesterday from a week of service. We built a house, hosted a VBS everyday, and we helped with other projects. It was an awesome trip and I will post some pixs later. Personally, all through the week I was having some physical difficulties, but I didn't think much of it. I had a pain behind my right ear and I couldn't hear out of my right ear. I thought it was just an infection and I would go to the doctor when I got home. When we got back to San Diego things changed. That night (Friday) the right side of my face started to feel numb and the next morning I could not close my right eye. Also, I was off balance when I walked. I still had the pain and the constant ringing in my ear so everybody on the team told me that I should go to Urgent Care, so I did. The doctor diagnosied it as Bell's Paulsy, but he thought I should go to the hospital emergancy to be sure. So, I went the emergancy. They did an x-ray, a CT scan, and blood work. The doctor concluded that it was Bell's Paulsy, although he was not sure about the burning pain down my neck. So he gave me some pills and prescriptions. Bell's Paulsy is the restriction of the facial nerve and cused by a viral infection. The recovery could be days, weeks or months determined by the amount of damage to the nerve. The worst part of this is my eye won't close and I drool when I eat. Not a pretty sight.
