Just thought I'd give one last pirate-update. There is real physical power in prayer and priesthood blessings. I have been blessed with a quicker recovery than I imagined due in large part to the faith and prayers of so many friends and family members. Thank you all! Here's my recovery status at 3 weeks out:
- I no longer have to tape my eye shut at night (my eyelashes are happy about that).
- I can drink fairly well in public from a straw or cup.
- My tastebuds are about 75% back in working order.
- While I still cannot swish a normal punt of water in my mouth without some mess, I am able to whistle somewhat and swish a tiny bit.
-My smile is a bit wonky but it's getting there.
Overall, I'd say I'm at about 75% and I'm thrilled with that! Life is such an amazing and fragile gift. I hope that this sense of gratitude and purpose doesn't fade as my symptoms do. Life is good and I am very blessed.
