I’m horrified at how little the likely permanent facial nerve damage she has seems to bother her, or dissuade her from continuing with her delusions. It appears that she has trigeminal nerve, specifically branch three aka the mandibular nerve, damage to me, which is a lot more serious then “biting into an apple” lols. She could have permanent difficulty with chewing, facial expressions, speech, etc etc…the list goes on and on. The drooling, abnormality of the orbicularis oris (which connects to a ton of other important facial muscles) are all very worrying signs that something is wrong.
The fact that her surgeon hasn’t referred her to a specialist who can diagnose/treat what is clear nerve damage is mind boggling to me. Pardon the power level, but during mandatory clinical observations in grad school I saw many patients with facial nerve damage and language disorders, and the degree to which their lives were affected left a significant impact on me. People who had to deal with strangers judging them harshly because they assumed they were drunk due to slurred speech, or retarded because they couldn’t express themselves anymore, inability to swallow and being terrified of aspirating…it’s not a minor inconvenience. This bitch’s hubris has me MATI.
