Yea me!

Last night was a turning point in my battle with the Bell's Palsy. My very first symptom, almost two weeks ago, was the loss of my ability to taste with the left side of my tongue. It's been really annoying because unless the food I'm eating has very strong flavors, I can barely taste it. Well last night part of my world was righted!
As I was eating dinner, I suddenly realized that I could taste my food. I didn't believe it at first, so I took another bite and really concentrated. I was so excited! It probably seems like a dumb thing to be excited about, but it signals that I've turned the corner and can expect to see more improvements in my other symptoms. I don't expect to be cured tomorrow or anything, but it's encouraging to know that I'm moving in the right direction.
