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!!!

hey John: you need to get on your stationary bike and ride along with the Tour de Fance.

It is nice that you have someone to go with to the car shows. You get to get out and look at some beautiful cars.

It is also great that you have a friend whose mom lives in valpo and everytime he comes home he always visits you or invites you
somewhere. That is so great that he always thinks of you.

I wish you luck with the facelift and nerve innervation. I remember awhile back there was a program that had this young woman on who had no face. It was unbelievable. I cannot imagine no face! God bless her!

Well I am going to go back to my uneventful day, I have had plenty of those HA HA HA HA...........

Well you take care and press on!!!!!!!!!!!
