It was an uneventful weekend to say the least.Tons of The Tour de France...Im glued to screen every day. Probably has something to do with me being not able to ride.My Dad and me went to a small car show and ate some pizza.Whoohoo.I guess that is ok though...That is probably more the speed of my life since most of my friends are 'grown up'. When I am in Valpo it is like I am in another world...friends dont wanna spend the gas money...I dont blame them!

I guess that I dont have nerve damage after all. I e-mailed my neurosurgeon (brain surgeon) and he said the drooping of the face is from the brain sten. I guess I kindof knew that. He said my only option would be a combo of a facelift...lol and something called nerve innervation to kindof ''wake up'' the nerves and I would have my facial expressions back. I know jack dookey about this,but right now I am like "bring it on!" For all I know it could be dangerous,painful and all sorts of other bad stuff. I will probably do it anyways...Being able to use my face would mean my lip would never get in the way when eating,talking,breathing and when I drink or eat fluid it wouldnt flow like a damn waterfall out of my left side of my mouth. I cannot find anything much online about it. Looks like I will be making appointments with plastic surgeons this winter!!!

Man!!! It has been a few weeks since I updated this thing. Two weeks ago, I had surgery on some muscles to starigten my eyes. Well, It was
considered a success according to the surgeon. My eyes are much more straight,but I am kinda upset by the fact that when my glasses are on my left eye still pulls in a little...not cool...when the glasses are off, the eyes look almost perfect, which is great,but very strange. He did say my vision will never be perfect again(which it is not). He forgot to mention my eyes might not be straight. Maybe I am jumping to conclusions here...The Dr did say my brain was used to seeing the world one way and now my eyes are somewhat straight,plus that muscle has to strengthen and he said new lenses might help. I will make my final verdict in a month when I see him I guess.

Im getting more confidence on the walker also. Im walking short distances independently.(Livin life on the edge...lol...baby steps...literally!) Rehab is still going well,but slooooooow! Slow is still progress,but c'mon. Lately, Im am dealing with fatigue. I had it like a year ago...Thought it was gone! Pisses me off,but like the saying goes... it is better to be pissed off,then pissed on...hahahaha!...Soooo true!

Today, I also signed up for school with my Mommie...haha. I so pumped! I will finally get to go back. Not in the form or point I thought I would be @ 15 months,nonetheless.I will be goin back!!!!! I feel great about it all. Indiana University Northwest has more for disabled than I thought!
