It's been a busy year, with a new job and wedding planning, and I've just learned that I received a grant to go to Japan this summer, but even with everything that has been happening, recovery was not nearly as bad as I ever dreamed it would be. I feel like the one-year mark kind of wraps up the journey - unless there is a complication down the road, I've pretty much reached the final result. There are days when I get achy (but I do talk all day), and I occasionally get a little buzzy feeling near my ear and left temple, but I know nerves take the longest to heal. The dermatologist has given me an ointment to use to reduce scarring/raised skin, but the scar itself isn't very noticeable anyway.
I'm certainly better off today than I was a year ago!
Congrats Tammy! I know it's a long road, I went through it with Ali. If you keep having buzzing or have any residual muscle pain/cramping/spasm in your face, jaw or neck, go see Anthony at Green Country PT. He is amazing and worth the drive to Drumright! Glad it went so well! You are beautiful!
