--On Monday DEC 8th...I woke up and my mouth was Numb.
--Same thing on Tuesday & Wednesday.
--It felt like I'd had like 20 shots of Novacaine.
--I've had a tooth that's been killing me for 8-10 months that needs an $1800 Root Canal..it didn't even hurt.
--But nothing hurt, so I just let it go.
--I could bite my toungue & not even feel it.
--Then Thursday morning I woke up and as I was Brushing my teeth, I went to spit and it ran down the right side of my mouth. I looked in the mirror & the right side of my mouth was drawn to the right & my right eye was drooping.
--I really looked like JR ROSS(announcer for WWF/WWE...RAW.
--I went on to work, but after work I went to my Doctor. I explained to him that I had to have a straw to drink anything, or it would spill all over my face. The only food that I could taste was a Pickle, or something really sour. In soft drinks only Carbonation or the Fizz...no flavor.
--So I was sent to the Hospital for A CAT SCAN & AN MRI, both with that Hot ASS Contrasy Dye.
--The doctor called me later that night & told me that I'd had a Mini-Facial Stroke.
And that left me with Bells Palsy.
--No Tumors, No Bleeding, No Anuresysms...but I would need to see a Neurologist.
--The Doctor put me on A Strong Steriod..Predisone....I gained 21 LBS in 2.5 weeks.
--After making 20-30 phone calls I finally got an appointment with The Neurologist.
--I went to him on Tuesday. **He said it was a 1 inch Lesion on my Brain, connecting to a nerve and a 5mm retention cyst on my brain, right next to the lesion.**
--He said Surgery is dangerous...very dangerous and more than likely it will not get any worse, and possible better.
--I'm starting to get some of my taste buds back & I still feel fine. I've just been really depressed and have a complex about my looks now. And alot of people have noticed. One lady on my mail route said,"Phil, I never new you chewed tobacco", I said I don't. And she kept saying how bad I looked, so I told her the story.....and then she reverted by saying...oh you can't even tell it..It's not noticable, trying to make me feel better.
--And My Daughter, oh man...She's 6 years old and keeps asking me if I'm going to die. We are real "tight" It's just me & her and has been for the last 5 years! Her Mom...(Biological Mom) lives in Michigan, and hasn't even seen her since she signed over her parental rights when My Daughter was only 13 months old. I'm really MOM & DAD! She keeps telling me that she's praying for me & tells me she loves me 100 times a day!
Anyway, that's all I know for now. But I do look, I'd say 50-60% better than I did. The doctors are just saying take it easy & have no or very little stress in my life.
I'm not doing the surgery to remove it though...way too risky! And I'm only 27 Years Old!
If anyone has or knows someone that's had this condition please share your input!
