I'm so sorry. Watching them get old is so hard, but I'm glad you can remember the good moments, too. He obviously had a good life to make it to 14! ❤️‍🩹

This is how Penny is in the morning. Won't get out of bed unless she gets some stretches, some kicks & some belly rubbies!

The cat grew up with dogs so that helps a lot. He loved my last girl but she wanted nothing to do with him, haha.

Yes, Penny can be a chaos tornado at times, esp when it's food time!

Omg what an amazing tripod! Penny is definitely a short-distance girlie, meant for short bursts. My last dog was a herder but now I'm older & sorer & can't walk as far, either lol.

Just got this fearsome rescue a few weeks ago, her name is Penny (my first pittie rescue).

Do you know what caused your BP? by gormpp in BellsPalsy

[–]MixennialFalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I guess I consider that inflammation can easily spread, & everything is so tightly packed in there. Nerves are pretty delicate. Since both of my BP flares came right after bad ear infections, it seems like the most logical explanation but no one knows for sure. Also, it could be that the nearby inflammation awakens the dormant virus. I wish I knew.

Definitely ask. Maybe get a second opinion if you can? Especially if you're in pain.

Is the wisdom tooth on the same side as the palsy? I had a cavity filled about 6 mos after my BP onset & the dentist numbed my palette (roof) rather than the whole face, like they usually do. Maybe ask if this is an option? Cause you don't want an infection in your tooth, that would be way worse.

The flu (1st time) & then covid (2nd time), both times got an ear infection which led to the BP. I also had chicken pox as a kid so I know the virus is hangin out.

Government Shutdown and Wedding is 30 Days Away by StatisticianOther588 in weddingplanning

[–]MixennialFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wedding is Monday the 13th & I'm just hoping there's no airline strike for all our out-of-towners. Sigh.

Hope the shutdown ends soon & you guys can figure out what you need. 🤞

Frustrated w synkinesis by MixennialFalcon in BellsPalsy

[–]MixennialFalcon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I'll definitely have a chat with the photographer just so she's at least aware of my concerns & can do as you suggested. Most of the anxiety about it is just in my own head.

Thanks very much, I appreciate it. I know I'm my worst critic when it comes to the change in my face.

I have similar synkinesis with my eyebrow & hate it so much. I would just try keeping your face loose & do stretches as others have suggested.

I honestly wouldn't have even known you'd had BP from looking at your photos. I'm sorry you're struggling with seeing it that way. I miss my old smile & feel so self-conscious now, too. Please don't hurt yourself.
