Pets and Health

It is just so awesome seeing friends who are having pets as a way to help moods. I had a pet one time that helped me tremendously with moods. Some of my friends have posted themselves alone with their pet dog, cat, etc. For me; it happened to be a guinea pig. Regardless; it is pretty phenomenal the way they describe the mood changes and how isolation changes. https://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure/features/6-ways-pets-improve-your-health#1

Bell's Palsy and Self esteem

Around  two years ago I had Bell's Palsy. The articles down here describe it. I am putting an article on putting a brave face because that is what I had to do. What happened to me was similar to the experience of the gentleman in the article I am posting. Bell's palsy is emotionally hard. The  article describing the emotional toll is from Life and Style. The second article is a medical article defining and stating the characteristics of Bell's Palsy from US national Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3980711/  https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/may/25/bells-palsy-facial-emotionally-hard-treatment
