Avast me Hearties!
Behold the damage done my visage by the scurvy palsy!
Thursday Xavier decided I needed a scar to complete the Pirate look.
So he nipped me under the eye, bled like heck and I felt it even though it is on the paralyzed left side.
Not a great pic I’ll grant but it was taken Friday after the blood loss had been stemmed and the polysporin dollops had worked their magic, you can see the poly glisten if you look closely. That’s the little biter sucking up. As part of our daily routine I am forced to snuggle up to him and praise his fine character while he curls up in his hammock if I don’t want my couch ripped to shreds. I guess I didn’t praise him enough Thursday.
I get small hints of “reconnection” once in awhile, I can close the eyelid slowly now but not squeeze it shut. The face is still drooping of course and yes I need a shave. The eye is runny and needs regular lubrication. Unfortunately even with the lubricant and eye patch it still gets irritated and disrupts my sleep. Xavier has never seen me sleep any later than 8 am so I am surprised he is leaving me to rest until 9. We will survive!
Thank you all for your concern!
