Turns out I broke my left orbital last Saturday. I had an orbital repair in 2015 as shown in the pictures above. This wasn’t nearly as painful as 2015 but the fracture is touching the nerve and I cant feel the left side of my face. Surgery is possible if the muscle is entrapped. Further testing will tell if I need urgent surgery or not. All I want to do is get back in there. I’ll never quit. My life is far from a smooth ride to where I want to go. I try and usually fail until I accomplish anything. Why would this be different? Life on life’s terms… #fighting #fail #success #adversity #nevergiveup #flash #comebackking
