Facial Update

By Nick Hodge | December 16, 2009

Nick at Shibuya, Japan

It has been a long 3–4 weeks.

From Doctor’s vis­its and other experts, this is most likely merely a viral infec­tion in the facial nerves. You can only take anti-virals within the first 36–72 hours – a time long, long ago. So its has been “just live with it”. Research has shown me that re-occurance of the oppos­ing side is pos­sible. How­ever, it is quite dis­con­cert­ing think­ing that your face is going to ‘flut­ter’ or ‘twinge’ with nervous abandon.

Today was a major break­through. Present­ing Win­dows 7 and Office 2010 to IT Teach­ers at West­ern Sydney TAFE. 3 hours of non-stop talk­ing, and only a couple of facial con­tor­tions. As long as I don’t smile, eat or look up — all is well. Things are on the improve.

Totally buggered, how­ever. Stuffed. Whilst I once presen­ted for 8 hours, at least twice, when on a trip to India in 2001 — and been at count­less tradeshows of 14+ hours of stand­ing around and spruik­ing — 3 hours is still a long time to be “on”

So its onwards. Good to have a nor­mal face back.
