Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Hi , Yes, you are right about what a shame it's not Halloween because I surely wouldn't need a face mask right now...(haha) Could be the moisturizer. I know when I walked outside today my face starting burning so bad that I almost came back in but decided that I needed to get out of the house for awhile. My nose is beet red and looks like I have a nice sunburn. Boy that's nice, I haven't even been out in the sun in quite sometime and have a nice sunburn.. (haha)....I look like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer...(haha) I can't believe this is happening right before I return back to work. My face has been so clear since surgery and thought I was going to escape having any problems. So now I have this red nose & cheeks and can't even wear makeup to cover it up...ARGHHHH!! A friend of mine had Bell's Palsy not along ago and I felt for him so much because like you his left eye didn't close all the way nor could he move the left side of his lip. It did end up clearing up after a few weeks. He said it really looks a lot worse than it felt which I am hoping is the case for you. You are going to be looking like me upon your return to work next week..(haha)...I have got to find a way to put on at least a little makeup on Tuesday. What day are you going back? If it's tomorrow, enjoy your last hours of rest! I will surely let you know my coworkers reaction on Tuesday..I am sure I am going to hear a bunch of mixed reactions..(haha) Enjoy your evening, --Caboose > > Thanks my fav nurse ! > > > > The rash is only in the area of my nose and cheeks which is where > the > > swelling still is.
