the trick to getting teh freezing out is to massage (or slap lightly) your face. get the circulation going to move teh stuff out through the bloodstream. that it took so long to hit makes me wonder if he didn;t give you too much. it takes a while to 'take'. but the stuff moves out at a stupid slow rate. glad you're doing better now though.
