Would have been nice to have a green margarita with friends, or had my green shirt on when I was out and about. Instead I spent the day at the St Mary's ER to have my numb face checked out. I must say the Dr was very thorough with all the tests they ran on me to rule out so many things such as stroke, heart attack, bleeding of the brain, etc.
The right side of my face has been numb for almost 2 weeks now, and Saturday night my left side went numb and my eyelids are now numb as well. It is such a weird feeling all over. Part of my face tingles, part is numb, part hurts and is throbbing. And some of it feels like that of a clay mask women put on their face to smooth out their skin. Weirdest sensation and feeling I have ever had for sure.
If all of this isn't bad enough, upon getting released from the hospital, we go to our car and the flashers are on and the door is not shut all the way but is locked and we all know what this means...a dead battery. Fun times had by all. Luckily, my mom remembered we have AAA we called them and it took them 40 minutes to come. Let me tell you being released from the ER to sit in a cold car was not a fun day for me at all.
I had a sub from subway because earlier in the day I couldn't eat anything I was too nauseous. Then I went to bed at 7pm as the night before I had only 4 hours of sleep with my new side being numb. I slept from 7pm to 2am when the thunder from the bad storm woke me up and I never went back to sleep, worked a 10 hour day and still am up now.
Waiting on a rushed appointment with a neurologist, I need some answers SOON!
