Bell's Palsy

By Alphonse Tan of ETN Multimedia

her face as somewhat like a wax figurine's face melting.

Anyway, we had her confined as we initially thought she had a stroke. After being confined, she was advised to go for therapy which we are doing right now.

The only adverse effect of this type of illness on my mom is that her self-esteem is kind of low. At her ripe age of 75 I could not blame her whenever she asks: "How come at my age I still have this condition?"

After therapy, I usually take my mom to lunch. The main deciding factor for what place to go to is whether or not she has friends within the establishment.

And on Sundays, she usually goes with my elder sister to mass 3x (since my sister plays a flute in a choir, and my mom is the collector in mass.) A few weeks ago, she told me she didn't want to go with my sister in their weekly Sunday routine. She wanted me to take her to mass to a church where she did not have any friends.

I guess the most adverse effect of Bell's Palsy on my mom is her sociability and her self-esteem. That is why I try my very best to cheer her up and be more than just patient with what she wants and where she wants to go.

I don't think I would call this a sacrifice because I missed my mom when I was a kid and I'm enjoying her now as an adult.
