Susan,
My aunt had something similar she picked up probably 20 years ago, but
it involved permanent nerve damage. Her face always droops on that one
side now, but other than that, she is 86 years old and still takes care
of my 101 year old grandmother.
You have my prayers for a quick and full recovery.

Some of you who attended the last Happy Hour know that I had a medical
mishap, but I'd like to spread the word to the rest of you.
I got hit with Bell's Palsy.It's a sudden paralysis of one side of the
face. Lucky me, I actually have a less common but more severe version
called Ramsay-Hunt syndrome, which is caused by getting shingles in
the ear.Sounds like fun, huh?This one has a whole host of extra
symptoms besides just the droopy face.I won't bore you with all the
details, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm pretty out of
commission: vision/hearing problems on that side, vertigo, and talking
is tough.For now I can only drive a little, and not on the highway.
The upside: this condition is uncomfortable and annoying, but not
serious and eventually it will get better. The prognosis for recovery
is pretty good, but it's really slow-- months.
Anyway, I'm not telling you all this for sympathy. It's just not
something that I can hide, and I'm hoping to make it to the picnic
next week (my very supportive hubby has volunteered to drive
me).Explaining in advance makes things easier. Now you guys don't have
to wonder what's going on and it will save me from a lot of extra talking.
We now return to our regularly scheduled chatter.For instance, how not
to end up falling off a cliff while caching....
Susan
