I Had This...

Lama sungguh aku tak menulis di sini. The last entry was way way 2 months back kot. Tak ingat dah....

Anyway, a lot has happen between then and now. Antaranya:

1. kita dah raya..yahooo
2. niya dah buat besday party dia...yahoo utk niya(nanti wa buat satu entry utk nih..insyallah)
3. aku dah operate idung...aduiii
4. minik wa dah besday tapi wa takle properly celebrate. nanti la yekkk...


But, one thing happen to me masa bulan posa which i would like to share. It made me especially realise that nikmat idup nih, Allah leh tarik bila-bila masa sahaja. Two weeks before Raya, masa buka posa denga famili, tetiba sahaja tanpa sebarang petanda (well there was actually, a sharp pain behind the ears 3 days before the incident) i felt that when i drink, air jatuh cam bibir aku tak berfungsi betui2. Buat tak tau jer dulu, kot2 allergic kat apa benda tah kan...so buat bodo jer la. But things got worse the next day when the condition worsen and my eyes do not close..(sort of a mild strok but only on the face!)

So, with a very scared feeling went to the doctor and revealed that, i have or had...Bell Palsy. Bole google it dalam internet. Its very common actually. For those who have experience it.
Bell's palsy is a temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face. These muscles are controlled by the facial nerve. Because there's a facial nerve on each side of a person's face, and Bell's palsy usually affects just one nerve, people with Bell's palsy will most likely notice stiffness or weakness on one side of the face.

Usually if the nerve is working, it acts like a signalling machine yg habaq kat mata and mulut hang nak bukak ka tutup ka. But when the signals gets disrupts, thats when the eyes won't shut and the lips won't function well. Alhamdulillah, bell palsy is not permenant and only revolve around the facial nerve. Kalau tempat lain, maknanya ada hal lain la.

How to get it? Doctors don't specifically know. Even masa jumpa Neuro-Specialist pun dia kata possibility untuk sesapa kena is high as 1:100. So, agak common.

Treatment? Time and a little dose of steroid just to make the swelling of the nerve go away.
For me, it's my 8th week since kena benda nih. And alhamdulillah banyak dah baik. Maybe 95% i'm back to normal. Tapi ada lagi rasa cam tak berapa syiok which in some cases will be permenant.

Believe me, it was really a scary experience although i don't show it lah kat my family.Buat pe buat depa risau pasal depa dah memang risau. Thanksful enough for the sapot they gave me. Aku dapat MC sampai Raya plus lepas Raya dapat seminggu lagi. So, buat keje dari ghumah je.

Kesimpulan dari kisah nih is peringatan. Jangan ingat kita rasa badan kita sihat selamanya. Sekali tarik itu nikmat..ishhh.Aku di tarik sekejap jer(sebagai peringat).
